In the last three months, I've been eerily quiet both on my blog (it's been so long, I'm afraid I'm going to bolt straight past Paper Man and end up Pulp Man) and on the module front. Ironically enough, this long silence has actually been caused by events in my life that have Perl plastered all over them.
In a nutshell, after 11 years of working in the telecom industry, I've decided to take the plunge and try something different. As of the end of July, I've switched allegiance to The Pythian Group. They are a company specializing in database support, and they happen to use Perl-based internal tools. Which is where, as the astute reader may surmise, I enter the picture.
So, no more watching from the peanut gallery for li'll old me -- we'll now see if I can make a living out of that Perl stuff.
No need to say, I'm in equal part thrilled, exhilarated and terrified of what lies ahead. Hopefully, my new colleagues will feel the same way before long. :-)

Yup, the irony isn't lost on me. :-) Also, I must say that the ancient Greek source of the name tickles my fancy, considering how I myself like to name the boxes in my home network after Mesopotamian mythology gods and heros.
That sound like the right place.
Enjoy!
