• About: I am a freelance Perl developer from Leipzig.pm, Germany. I regularly support Perl teams for weeks up to months to get things done and try to leave things better than I found it. Although I am often offered a full-time job, I like looking into different companies and sharing useful experiences between teams.
  
  Together with Lichtkind we run the Leipzig.pm Perl Mongers group.
  
  In my spare time I work on a web platform for collecting recipes and making food plans for multi-day group events: Coocook.org.

  I really appreciate your enduring effort to improve the state of the YAML! Not only did you create your robust and sophisticated YAML::PP but also push the other YAML modules forward into a sensible state. Thanks for your great work...

• Commented on See you next year at 36c3!
  @steffenw: There's a searchbox on media.ccc.de but it returns not very specific results. Most talks at congress don't have a focus on Perl. Nevertheless it's still necessary to be present as Perl community and an important part of congress are...

• Commented on qk: Quote Membership Hash Keys
  I like your idea, although I found the result of qk() quite surprising. It's useful after all. However, I suggest writing my $arrayref = qa[foo bar] to make it look like an arrayref constructor....

• Commented on Simplest way of serving local files over HTTP?
  I've been using http_this for a long time. It's easy to install if you're used to CPAN and just a simple command without mandatory arguments. Much better than any Perl or Python code to remember and type in each time....

  Great work representing perl. Keep it up.

• brian d foy commented on Making YAML.pm, YAML::Syck and YAML::XS safer by default

  Data::Dumper and Storable have the same problem.

• tinita commented on Making YAML.pm, YAML::Syck and YAML::XS safer by default

  Thanks Daniel :)

  In this case thanks should go to the folks from the Debian Perl Team, Gregor Herrmann and Dominique Dumont.
  They kept reminding us to do this change ;-)

  Forgot to mention them in the post, as it was late yesterday

• tinita commented on Making YAML.pm, YAML::Syck and YAML::XS safer by default

  Yeah. The difference is, IMHO, that I wouldn't load data from untrusted sources via Data::Dumper or Storable.

  But for YAML that's not unusual, and people don't expect it to do potentially dangerous things by default.
