Thanks Nick
From the Perl Foundation Blog
This week the Perl community lost one of its long time contributors, Nick Ing-Simmons, who died of a heart attack on Monday September 25th 2006.
Nick joined the Perl community in the early days of Perl 5. He consistently contributed to the perl5-porters mailing list and later became pumpkin for 5.003_02 where he added the initial implementation of the PerlIO layer.
Some of my first programming projects dealt heavily with Perl/TK. I never met nick but followed the mailing lists and partook of his tireless efforts for the advancement of Perl/TK and Perl in general. He will be missed.
Thanks, Nick
