Gavin wasn't a registered perlmonks user untill
2006-03-07 ... the comments attributed to "Gavin" on that blog are form 2002.
"japhy" does appear to be "our japhy" based on the URL that poster used (either that, or someone trying really hard to seem like him.
None of which precludes the possibility that all of these people stumbled onto this blog over a span or several *YEARS*, and posted comments, entirely independent of perlmonks -- anyone can comment on that blog, you don't even need to create an account, or have a verified email address, and it's the #1 result when googling for "perl python ruby" so it seems likely people might have found it, commented on it, and forgotten about it *YEARS* later.
(ocam's razor and all that)

Sombody mention my name Gavin.
It wasn't me that wrote the script, he writes far better code than I.
I followed the trail and by using Whois and various links I think it is gav^ who hasn't been here for awhile, but has some stuff on CPAN, he also has the same company, email address and link to his personal home page.

I personally believe that as astonishing as it may be, given how often do I boast about my good memory, that must be the explanation. If so, then I apologize for the noise... yet, quite unexpectedly, this very thread seems to be an appreciated one!
Given that I regularly follow clpmisc, I also searched it for say mjtsai.com in case someone had posted the link there, but that doesn't seem to be the case either...
