Yeah, I really didn't start making a lot of trouble until I fell in with those Ruby folks. :)
Perl will always have a special place in my heart. I wrote a primitive (and very early) intrusion detection system that saved my company's site from.... CodeRed I think? and we shipped its logs to Norton on day zero, which helped them fingerprint it. The source code was published in 2600!
Another favorite Perl memory was going to work at a .NET shop in the late 90s, and they expressly forbid me from doing anything in Perl. So I figured out how to compile my Perl modules into COM objects.
Oh, and at the same time that the Rails folks were rolling out betas of Basecamp, I was working independently on a proto-rails-like-framework written entirely in Perl.
Let's talk sometime! I'm easy to get in touch with.
Love y'all.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
