I am a published Perl author!

It's true! My article "[Review of] Programming for Linguists: Perl for Language Researchers, by Michael Hammond" has just appeared in the Journal of English Linguistics, XXXI:3 (Sept. 2003). Props to my man Sean M. Burke for some very valuable comments on an early draft, which comments encouraged me because they exactly matched what I had already decided about the book.

The review is considerably more critical than the one that appeared on Linguist List earlier this year.

But enough of that. I have published about Perl in a peer-reviewed journal! I'm all grown up! Why, I think I even understand closures now!


review online?

Very cool. :-)

Do they have it online somewhere?

Unfortunately, no, and I don't think I have the right to do so myself.

But I didn't like the book.
