Higher-Order Perl is available for free as a PDF

Last I checked, mjd appeared to be out of a job, and was soliciting donations for his (awesome) higher-order perl book. It's a shame he's out of a job, because if mjd cannot get a job, what about the rest of us?

He's working with rjbs over at pobox.com now. I've seen him in #dbix-class swearing at my code a few times.

We tried to get him to YAPC::NA but he has this thing called a family that apparently sometimes intervenes with his ability to gallivant across the country, so I had to get Damian to heckle my "I wanted to be MJD when I grew up" joke instead.

That sounds about right: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/msg/b2f91...

(Note: I used to have a little program to pick one of these out at random and insert it as a signature for Mutt, but I seem to have lost it. I got some great replies based on some of those.)

Edit - better link - thanks mjd

Getting another job was not actually that difficult, so there is no need to worry on that score.

But if anyone wants to send donations anyway, I will still gratefully accept them.

so is Pobox good work? And how is Perl working for them?
