For the last 4 years I have been coding Perl exclusively. Previously I was a C/Unix developer. The applications so far have been very web orientated, along with Richard Clamp and Dave Thorn, we designed and developed TheRegister MkII (MkIV is being ported to Bricolage) among other things.

I am currently working for MessageLabs, who provide email secuirity services. The main services we provide are for Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam, both of which are written in Perl. I'm currently involved in the apps that communicate with the scanning towers around the world, which is also written Perl.

A friend recently remarked that I must be one of the lucky few in the UK, who hasn't had to be resort to coding any Java or .NET applications. And long may it continue.
