My first, and current mentor (maybe he knows it, maybe he doesn't :) is nashdj. I'm quite lucky, he's a personal friend, so he's generaly always happy to help me when I come across problems with my perl. I can just open up a private message window with him in irc and paste, he points me in the right direction pretty much 100% of the time. Don't think i've ever really thanked him for that, so here and now, thank's to nashdj, for always lending a helping hand!
