Randal L. Schwartz is a two-decade veteran of the software
industry. He is skilled in software design, system administration,
security, technical writing, and training. Randal has coauthored
the must-have standards: Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Learning
Perl for Win32 Systems, and Effective Perl Learning, and is a
regular columnist for WebTechniques, PerformanceComputing,
SysAdmin, and Linux magazines.
He is also a frequent contributor to the Perl newsgroups, and has
moderated comp.lang.perl.announce since its inception. His offbeat
humor and technical mastery have reached legendary proportions
worldwide (but he probably started some of those legends himself).
Randal's desire to give back to the Perl community inspired him to
help create and provide initial funding for The Perl Institute. He
is also a founding board member of the Perl Mongers (perl.org), the
worldwide Perl grassroots advocacy organization. Since 1985, Randal
has owned and operated Stonehenge Consulting Services, Inc. Randal
can be reached for comment at merlyn@stonehenge.com or (503)

topics.

Mongers, Inc., which helped form more than 200 Perl user groups
across the globe. He maintains the perlfaq portions of the core

Tom Phoenix has been working in the field of education since 1982.
After more than thirteen years of dissections, explosions, work
with interesting animals, and high-voltage sparks during his work
at a science museum, he started teaching Perl classes for
Stonehenge Consulting Services, where he's worked since 1996. Since
then, he has traveled to many interesting locations, so you might
see him soon at a Perl Mongers' meeting. When he has time, he
answers questions on Usenet's comp.lang.perl.misc and
comp.lang.perl.moderated newsgroups, and contributes to the
development and usefulness of Perl. Besides his work with Perl,
Perl hackers, and related topics, Tom spends his time on amateur
cryptography and speaking Esperanto. His home is in Portland,
Oregon.
