Supposedly Randal Schwartz registered at perlguru today....I wonder if it is actually him...

http://perlguru.com/...cgi?username=merlyn;

Yeah, that's him. He hangs around a number of Perl communities using the nick merlyn. He's very active @ Perlmonks --> http://www.perlmonks.org?node=merlyn

Oh, and if you mod that board you should come up with a new tag [merlyn: ] or something to link through to his many excellent columns. He often answers questions with a reference to his own library of information at his website. And the fact that he does it so often has become a bit of a joke, although much appreciated. :-)
