Larry Wall
     
         A {demigod}, the author of {Perl}, {patch}, and {rn}.
     
        In the Perl {README}, he says, "I want you to know that I
        create nice things like this because it pleases the Author of
        my story.  If this bothers you, then your notion of Authorship
        needs some revision.  But you can use Perl anyway."
