Josh Heumann spent three years leading the Perlmongers group in Portland,
Oregon. He and Michael Schwern did the one thing you're not supposed to do in
a talk and wrote live code in Live Perl Testing.

He has Perl to thank for bringing him to Australia, and he believes in a diet
of testing, repositories, and bran. He has an article for O'Reilly due any day
entitled, "10 Things I Wish I'd Leaned With My CS Degree."
