Chromatic (programmer)

Chromatic is a writer and free software programmer best known for his work in the Perl programming language. He lives in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. He wrote ''Extreme Programming Pocket Guide'', co-wrote ''Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook'', is the lead author of ''Perl Hacks'', and is an uncredited contributor to ''The Art of Agile Development''. He has a music degree. Also, he has contributed to CPAN, Perl 5, Perl 6, and Parrot.

In 2009, he founded Modern Perl Books, in part to revitalize the world of Perl and to publish materials that other publishers had neglected.

In 2010, he released the book ''Modern Perl'' in print and in electronic form, with the latter redistributable freely (though with a suggested donation). An updated edition was released in 2012, with the entire text online. Provided by Wikipedia
