Damian Conway was, until August 2005, an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Monash University. He is a prominent member of the Perl community and exponent of object-oriented programming, and the author of several books. Damian completed his B.S. (with honours) and Ph.D. at Monash. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to CPAN and Perl 6 language design, his entertaining and erudite skills as a speaker, and his ability to teach Perl. The following are numbered among his contributions to CPAN:
- Parse::RecDescent
- Class::Contract
- Lingua::EN::Inflect
- Class::Std
- Class::Multimethods
- Text::Autoformat
- Switch
- NEXT
- Filter::Simple
- Smart::Comments
- Quantum::Superpositions (taken over by Steven Lembark)
- Lingua::Romana::Perligata
He has won the Larry Wall Award three times for CPAN contributions. His involvement in Perl 6 language design has been as an interlocutor and explicator of Larry Wall.
He is one of the authors of the Significantly Prettier and Easier C++ Syntax.
