[Brisbane-pm] Introductions

[Derek Thomson]

Hi all,

I've finally gotten 'round to doing this ...

I'm responsible in at least some respect for the following crimes
against nature and good sense:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlorb
http://fnorb.org

These are both CORBA object request brokers, one written in Perl, and
one in Python.

I learned Perl late 1994/early 1995 as I'd pushed "awk" to its limits
and needed something more powerful. Then I quickly ran into the limits
of Perl 4 :), and was greatly relieved when Perl 5 came out soon
after. I've used Perl for all kinds of things, but mostly C/C++/Java
code generation.

I also do lots of Python - I think I'm the only person I know who uses
Perl (or even knows Perl well) at the same time :)
