Today marks my 3 year anniversary with a language called Perl

I must say, this kind of amazes me. Considering the code I've seen from you here and elsewhere, 3 years seems like a really short time to get to that level. Maybe it's an artifact of how I learned Perl (by hacking on things at my leisure, for no audience but myself), but it took me at least 2 years longer to get to where you are. And there are undoubtedly still many things you know that I don't. In any case, my hat's off to you.

As for the rest of your Medition, all I can say is thanks to you! I always enjoy your contributions here and elsewhere (the fabled "elsewhere" being IRC and p6l). I think there would be a big hole in the universe if you weren't around.
