We do have a Peter Williams working here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'll assume its the same guy. As for your original comment....

That's an understatement. Those of you who saw my keynote on the
first day of the last Open Source Convention heard the long story, but
in a nutshell: perl is considered to be as strategic as C++ and Java
as a programming language here, and in reality, we probably have as
much perl code in production as we do Java and/or C++. They are
peers.
I have asked O'Reilly to get me a copy of the video tape from my
keynote, and when they ship the right tape (Dr. Dobb's did the video's
and they sent me the wrong damn day), I intend to transcribe it, and
publish it on the web.
I also intend to publish in on perl.com as yet another success story
as well.
