Perl: Whence and Whither
Larry Wall
O'Reilly & Associates
About the talk:
My father used to say "You are quickly becoming who you already are."
Certainly this is true of Perl. In this talk we will look at where
Perl is coming from, and where it's going, and how Perl's comings
and goings are related to each other.
About the speaker:
Larry Wall lives in Mountain View with his wife and four kids,
two cats, and fifteen fish. He likes to teach his computers to
make weird noises in response to everything that goes on in
his house. He posts strange articles to Usenet occasionally.
He also happens to be known for writing rn, patch, and Perl.
