I was the second. I've been dabbling with perl since I started at Sift, while they were still a tiny startup (I was something silly like employee #14), and was handed a camel book on my first day having no prior knowledge of it really, alhough I had quite a lot of awk and C which helped. From there to a longer stint at Amazon/IMDb, and subsequently I've been doing my own thing for a year or two, primarily as a Macintosh developer. I've done quite a lot of work with relational databases, and I dabble with other languages as well, but perl is usually at the head of the shortlist when I'm thinking of whipping something up. I was also on the old list, and around at Sift when they had the domain and stuff, but it was always fairly moribund, as I recall. -- Regards, Colin M.
