| | Larry Wall on The Paula Gordon Show |
| | Wall and legions of people in the open source software movement have evolved Perl toward the 6.0 release on which the Perl community is currently working under Mr. | | | Wall's approach: "There's more than one way to do it" and "Easy things should be easy and hard things should be possible." Larry Wall expects people to program Perl joyfully because they have choices which allow them to be creative. | | | Larry Wall, the man with this unusual prescription, is a leader in the open source software movement, which includes Linux. |

| | IT Conversations: Larry Wall - State of the Onion |
| | Wall is known for his idiosyncratic and thought-provoking approach, as well as for his groundbreaking contributions to the culture of free software programming. | | | Larry Wall is a programmer, linguist, author, and is most widely acclaimed for his creation of the Perl programming language in 1987. | | | Among Larry Wall's other pursuits is being a linguist, and it's perhaps for this reason that Perl is a peculiarly flexible language with many routes to achieving the same ends, as the authors ably demonstrate. |

| | Nikolai Bezroukov. Portraits of Open Source Pioneers. |
| | Larry is the creator of the Perl programming language, and is currently drafting the specifications for Perl 6, the next major version of Perl. | | | Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall as a scripting language for UNIX, aiming to blend the ease of use of the UNIX shell with the power and flexibility of a system programming language like C. Perl quickly became the language of choice for UNIX system administrators. | | | By training Larry is a linguist (interesting, that while at Berkeley, he had nothing to do with the UNIX development going on there.) He also spent time at Unisys, playing with everything from discrete event simulators to software development methodologies. |
