Mark Dominus has been programming since 1977, and in Perl since 1992, when he was a Unix sysadmin with the University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Sciences. He is an occasional contributor to the Perl core, and is the author of the standard perlreftut (http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlreftut) man page. From 1999-2001 Mark was the managing editor of www.perl.com (http://www.perl.com/). He was a columnist for The Perl Journal (http://www.tpj.com/) for several years. Most of his articles for TPJ have been reprinted in Computer Science and Perl Programming: Best of the Perl Journal (ISBN 0596003102) from O'Reilly and Associates. Mark's other Perl-related articles have appeared in magazines such as Wired and IEEE Software.

Since 1998 Mark has been a professional perl trainer. In addition to speaking at conferences such as YAPC, the O'Reilly Open Source Conferences, Usenix, and LISA, he has given training courses for large companies and organizations, including Morgan Stanley, IBM, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and the U.S. Air Force.

Mark's book Perl Advanced Techniques Handbook (http://perl.plover.com/book/) will be published by Morgan Kaufmann in 2003.

Mark is the author of several well-known and widely-used Perl modules, including "Text::Template", "Memoize", and "Tie::File". His work on Rx (http://perl.plover.com/Rx/), a Perl regular expression debugger, won the 2000 Larry Wall Award for Practical Utility.
