Just a simple [cpan.org] guy, hacking Perl for fun and profit since way back in the last millenium. You may find me hanging around in the monestary [perlmonks.org].
What am I working on right now? Probably the Sprog project [sourceforge.net].

Wellington.pm meeting
We had around 20 people at last night's meeting - which is a healthy number. Any more and we'll need a bigger room.
Peter Love talked first about how he makes a living as a freelancer using Perl. Then it was my turn to talk about Test-Driven Development with Perl.

Then I interactively typed in the code to make the test pass; removed the next '__END__' and repeated. That worked pretty well for a start but I probably should have switched back to the slides after people began to get the idea.
