User Profile

Randal L. Schwartz is a renowned expert on the Perl programming
language (the lifeblood of the Internet), having contributed to a
dozen top-selling books on the subject, and over 200 magazine
articles. Schwartz runs a Perl training and consulting company
(Stonehenge Consulting Services, Inc of Portland, Oregon), and is a
highly sought-after speaker for his masterful stage combination of
technical skill, comedic timing, and crowd rapport. Schwartz is also
infamous amongst the System Administration community for his arguable
1995 criminal conviction while performing activities for the Intel
Corporation, and publicly advocates for appropriate computer crime
laws. His presentation about the landmark case (titled "Just Another
Convicted Perl Hacker") has inspired action for computer professionals
and lobbyists at computer conferences all over the world. And he's a
pretty good Karaoke singer, winning contests regularly.
