Not surprising. Piers Cawley is a long-time Perl heavyweight with intimate familiarity with Perl's development. In fact, he is an old hand at providing such snapshots of the state of Perl for the community.

Piers' blog - lots of perly commentary; his use.perl journal; his writeups on Perl.com.

Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.

Although it should be pointed out that these days Piers does a lot more Ruby than he does Perl... update: having reached the end of the article, I read that Piers is beginning to work with Perl again. If you've ever talked with him at a conference about Perl, you'll understand why I say: Yay! • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

From his bio: "Piers Cawley is a veteran Perl programmer with 10 years service who has spent the last couple of years in a lucrative dalliance with Ruby, but who is returning to the Perl fold for personal work. Between 2002 and 2005, he wrote regular summaries of activities in Perl 6 development for perl.com."	[reply]
