About

Self taught programmer who prefers to program in both Perl 5 and 6.
I started learning Perl around the turn of the century.

I have sent in pull requests that have been accepted to both Perl 5 and the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler. I have also influenced additions to both languages. ( ok they are generally minor additions, but still. )

Feel free to send me an email.

CPAN

You can generally find me by the moniker b2gills online.
