Larry Wall (in interview by Dan Kogai)
Dan: What kind of work have you been doing since you were fired from O’Reilly? La: I was publicly unemployed for a while (smiles). Fortunately, there was a rise in real estate values, so I was able to make a living through reverse mortgages. Recently I have been employed by Netlogic Microsystems, but most of my time is devoted to Perl 6. Bullets: if you were paid while unemployed… La: It would have been about $30 million. Dan: That’s a bold move to give up 30 million yen. La: (I am) rich. If the definition of rich is not how much you have, but how much you can give.
