Hi, During FOSDEM Miyagawa has conducted interviews with Ricardo Signes (RJBS), the release manager of Perl 5 (also known as the Pumpkin of Perl 5), and Larry Wall (TimToady), the creator of Perl. Both interviews are available in the Rebuild podcast as downloadable mp3 files. If you don't have time during the day, you could download the files and listen to them during your commute. Enjoy!
