I’m a professional Perl developer and open-source enthusiast, and have released various open source projects, and contributed to many more. This page attempts to summarise some of them.

Other scripts

• retag-by-filename.pl – a quick Perl script to update the ID3 tags of audio tracks based on their filenames
• mp3-rename.pl – a script to automatically rename MP3s according to their ID3 tags
• auto-name-incoming – a script to monitor a directory for new files and automatically move them to a different destination directory, renaming them with sequential filenames

XChat plugins

Two plugins for XChat, a popular IRC client:

• Parse Netlink Messages – parses messages relayed from one IRC channel to another (typically on a different network) by the NetLink eggdrop script written by David Proper and turns them into “normal” channel messages.
• Filter Messages – filters out messages matching any of an easily-customisable set of regular expression matches

Other projects

I’ve contributed bug reports, patches, feature requests and improvements to various other open source projects. I’m currently a core contributor to the Dancer Perl web framework.
