Mark-Jason Dominus Mark-Jason Dominus has been programming in Perl since 1993. He is a frequent speaker at Perl conferences, a regular columnist for the Perl Journal, a moderator of comp.lang.perl.moderated, and is the author of several modules, including Text::Template and Memoize. His book Perl Advanced Techniques Handbook should appear in early 2001. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife Lorrie and several toy octopuses. Why Not Translate Perl to C? Mark-Jason Dominus explains why it might not be any faster to convert your code to a C program rather than let the Perl interpreter execute it.

[Dec 12, 2000] Red Flags Return Readers pointed out errors and suggested more improvements to the code in my 'Red Flags' articles. As usual, there's more than one way to do it! [Nov 28, 2000] Program Repair Shop and Red Flags Once again I take a real program written by a genuine novice and show how to clean it up and make it better. This time we turn a perl4 library into a Perl 5 object-oriented module. I show how to recognize some "red flags" that are early warning signs that you might be doing some of the same things wrong in your own programs. [Nov 14, 2000] Critique of the Perl 6 RFC Process Many of the suggestions put forward during the Perl 6 request-for-comment period revealed a lack of understanding of the internals and limitations of the language. Mark-Jason Dominus offers these criticisms in hopes that future RFCs may avoid the same mistakes -- and the wasted effort. [Oct 31, 2000] Guide to the Perl 6 Working Groups Perl 6 discussion and planning are continuing at a furious rate and will probably continue to do so, at least until next month when Larry announces the shape of Perl 6 at the Linux Expo. In the meantime, here's a summary of the main Perl 6 working groups and discussion lists, along with an explanation of what the groups are about.
