Hello! I'm Paul Makepeace [paulm.com], a regular on London.pm [pm.org]. Perl's my primary language I code in (since '95 I think); people even pay me [paulmakepeace.com] for it! Although I'd say I'm a developer I spend a substantial chunk of time being a sysadmin for my own machines (I'm also one of london.pm.org's root), all Debian boxen.
