I like books, especially books about all that it-stuff - so I bought books about perl someday a few years ago. I wasn't very interessted in perl these days but I thought it could be usefull in the future. Sooner I had to do some conversion, between the format of the logfiles of some new measurement-equipment and the format of the software the guys in our laboratory used. That was the point when I thought: Hey you've got those books about that perl-thing - maybe it's the right tool for this kind of work. And it was. After that I was asked to build some small intranet-web-apps and again I tried perl to do it (and produced a lot of really bad and ugly code) - and it worked fine. I've joined the folks at http://perl-community.de (german-speaking perl-community) about 2 years ago and learned a lot. Some time later I joined perlmonks and I'm still learning a lot.

So I've to thank all of you for work here.
