Keep it going... Also, don't forget to post a copy of your message to the mailing list itself, that is liege-pm-list@hfb.pm.org 6 people have subscribed so far. My turn to introduce myself: 27 (28 by the end of June ;), living in Liege, I'm a software engineer focusing mainly on Internet/Intranet technologies. That's where Perl plays an important role for me, as CGI scripts and the likes (mod_perl, ...). I started learning Perl 4 years ago to develop an online application system, that is a kind of CV webstore. Since then, as Wim said, I've become addicted to this programming language. I especially like the modular aspects of Perl, allowing you to develop truly reusable code, as well as its powerful parsing capabilities. I'm currently busy developping a WAP enabled solution for an important bank, but not in Perl unfortunately.

The company I work has developped a C++/COM application engine for e-commerce sites. My job is internal support and maintenance of our server park. In the longer run, I'm looking for a job as support engineer in our company, unless someone offers me a Perl job ofcourse ;) I use Perl since two years or so, but I really started using it about 6 months ago, when I discovered the amasing features of object oriented Perl. Don't ask me anything about regular expressions, because I don't know the first thing about it, but I do know OO Perl, I love it. Currently, I'm working on a publication/content management system to drive a site of a couple of friends, which is completely written in Perl. There's still a lot of work to be done, but the basic datasource objects are in place. The system is currently only written for MS SQL, but any RDBMS can be supported by implementing a few simple functions. In my spare time I like to read and watch SF stuff on TV. I also own a bike, so I sometimes cruise thru the Ardennes on a sunny holiday. Besides being a Perl adept, I'm also a Larry Wall fan. Check out http://use.perl.org/quotes.txt to see what I mean. cya Steven Devijver (steven.devijver@cmpmail.com)
