[MacPerl] I am looking for Larry Wall



Hello,

I am a student in high school who is heavily involved in computers. 
For my graduation requirements, I have to write an extended essay, 
which I have decided to do on the evolution ( mainly the 
specialization) of computer languages.

For this purpose, I am looking for Larry Wall.  No I am not a 
computer phyco, nor his stalker.  I am interested in finding out 
precise and detailed reasons of why he decided to write Perl, for I 
understand that it was because he decided that awk, if you know what 
that is, (I don't really), was not powerful enough.

If you would know where to find him, or how to contact him, please 
let me know.  I feel that he would have valuable information that 
could help me.  Furthermore, if you have information that you feel 
might help me, I would like that also.

Feel free to be longwinded, the more information, the better.

Sincerely,
Christopher Swope
