I also got an official announcement from the HCS gang: HCS is inviting Larry Wall, legendary inventor of Perl, to Harvard on Tuesday 3/31. Come to Science Center Hall D at 5:30PM for an unedited version of the history of Perl, its current development, and much wit and panache. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Larry Wall was educated at various places including the Cornish School of Music, the Seattle Youth Symphony, Seattle Pacific University, Multnomah School of the Bible, SIL International, U.C. Berkeley, and UCLA. Though trained primarily in music, chemistry, and linguistics, Larry has been working with computers for the last 35 years or so. He is most famous for writing _rn_, _patch_, and the Perl programming language, but prefers to think of himself as a cultural hacker whose vocation in life is to bring a bit of joy into the dreary existence of programmers. For various definitions of "work for", Larry has worked for Seattle Pacific, MusiComedy Northwest, System Development Corporation, Burroughs, Unisys, the NSA, Telos, ConTel, GTE, JPL, NetLabs, Seagate, Tim O'Reilly, the Perl Foundation, and himself. Larry is currently employed by NetLogic Microsystems in Mountain View, California. To get to work, he walks past both the Computer History Museum and the Googleplex, which must mean something. Preferably something absurd. __________________________________________________________________________________________ -- _________________________________________ -- "'Problem' is a bleak word for challenge" - Richard Fish (Federico L.
