Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
Sigfrid Lundberg's Stuff 2010-04-11
The Perl programming language was created by Larry Wall, who declared
that the name was an abbreviation of Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish
Lister
, or possibly Practical Extraction and Report
Language
. I've used it a lot and I'm not ashamed of it. And I still
use it. In spite of the fact that some people say it's dying. However,
now when I'm more or less completetly converted to JAVA, we are actually
discussing to switch part of our development to Ruby on Rails.

NB
My name is Sigfrid Lundberg. The stuff I publish here may, or may not, be of interest for anyone else.
On this site there is material on photography, music, literature and other stuff I enjoy in life. However, most of it is related to my profession as an Internet programmer and software developer within the area of digital libraries. I have been that at the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen (Denmark) and, before that, Lund university library (Sweden).
The content here does not reflect the views of my employers. They are now all past employers, since I retired 1 May 2023.
