Do we know what became of him?

Bod, sorry but all I've got is that BBQ moved from Sao Paulo Brazil to San Francisco some time between 2000-2005.

Unfortunately, unlike many of the other early Perl Monks, there is no BBQ user at Everything2 or Slashdot -- see Re: The First Ten Perl Monks (paco References) for how that can be useful (that is where we learnt, for example, that the legendary paco really likes "whales and really cold cheap American beer" !!! ;-).

I noticed redmist has played pool with BBQ in RL; others in these circa 2000 Perl Monks pool games include gnat, neshura, Macphisto, jcwren and zdog.

Perhaps the best chance of finding out more about BBQ is to ask (still active) PM pioneers vroom, chromatic or Ovid:

• Re: My Perl Monks B-Day by vroom - "I'm glad BBQ posted this. I wasn't in the monastery on the 23rd since I'm at my parents house and didn't take any of my computers home. I remember exchanging e-mails with BBQ and the excitement of seeing an account being made. BBQ was the first user to create an account and stick around who didn't know me before this all started. Maybe next time I'm in CA we can party BBQ."
• Re: Perl Monks turns 5 by Ovid - "I can't say I remember yiango but I do miss BBQ. He was fun."

Update: I was able to contact Ovid: he wishes BBQ well, but has no further information about him. Also, chromatic is back (Raku Performance Predictions Revisited 31 Aug 2023).
