I was in Oregon last week and saw a full front page article on
this in the Portland Oregonian. (Medford edition, that means it
was modified to report local news in Medford, which means it
wasn't modified much.)
This Randal Schwartz they talked about did not sound like the
Perl guy. Just a coincidence in names, I'm pretty sure.
