We've expanded our Perl news coverage and improved our search! Search for all things Perl across O'Reilly! Amir Karger Amir Karger blends two kinds of geekiness by doing science on computers. He currently provides bioinformatics support for research biologists. His CPAN modules demonstrate his love for obsolete computer languages and interactive fiction, but none of them will help you get actual work done. Amir lives in Boston with his wife and two children, who bear the responsibilty for the dropoff in his CPAN productivity in recent years.
