Actually I believe this poll was a prank, since every vote goes to paco :)

I was divided between vroom (which, as Gavin pointed out is something like the reason we are discussing this here), Ovid (my CGI hero, as I'm primarily a web developer) and merlyn, not only for his contribution being one of the authors of the llama book, but because we all appreciate him so much here in Brazil.

Since merlyn is the only one listed that I know in person and he is always so kind to travel all the way here to speak in our meetings he got my vote (AFAIK there are more monks coming on the next meetings, so I'll meet more people from here soon :D).

I'm sure every monk listed have it's merits (that goes for paco too ;)), but it wasn't a multiple choice poll (where is the "all above" option that would certainly go for paco too? lol)

Cheers,

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
