Is the author named "chromatic"?

Yes.

It's fairly common in hacker culture to use pseudonyms.

That Wiki page is so outdated and misleading, I'm tempted to ask for it to be deleted altogether.

Hi, and thanks!

That said: Don't feed the deletionists. Don't let them say chromatic wanted it.

They are possibly the worst part of the wikipedia/stackexchange bureaucracy.

Or you can edit it yourself.

The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne, the Wikipedia Bureaucracy so dull to navigate....

Ah, Chaucer. Appropriate, considering this is about Perl.

Chromatic can, but they'll probably get reverted.
