Although I'm not a man of wealth or fame.
I've been mongering Perl for a few years without ever
being a genuine Perl Monger. I first picked up Perl
as a web programmer at Playboy.com; sharpened my Perl
skills as a data-conversion programmer at Ex Libris, a
library automation company; and now use it extensively
as a web programmer at Rotary International, the
headquarters of the Rotary Club. I haven't written
any CPAN modules but have written modules useful for
my jobs, including Playboy::Playmate. My favorite
CPAN module is HTML::Parser and I'm currently working
on a project using mod_perl.
I like Perl for its terseness and its unmatched
data-shredding abilities. The other day I saved my
colleagues hours of work by writing a 30-line Perl
script to convert all Korean-language web pages from
Korean EUC encoding to UTF-8. It took half an hour.
Only with Perl!
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Liz Cortell
