about me

Who is Ulrich Habel aka Rhaen?

I live in Munich, Southern Germany. I work as a sysadmin for a local broadcast company. I started to explore the worlds of NetBSD on an Apple G3 powerbook in 2000 after I got bored by MachTen. I use NetBSD on my laptop and on my workstation at work. I feel pretty comfortable with it. When I am not fighting NetBSD things or updating my packages I enjoy cycling, geocaching or sailing.
My development focus on NetBSD pkgsrc are the Perl packages. I'll take more and more of them as a maintainer. I really would like to see NetBSD as premier platfrom for Perl related things. Right now we have a lot of Perl modules packaged already, let's keep them updated. Right now I am working on a Perl script which analyzes the Perl module related Makefiles and keep them updated according to CPAN automatically. This sounds quite simple, however there are few things to deal with and it will take a serious amount of time.
The domain pkgbox.org is hosted on a small Soekris 4801 device running NetBSD 4.0 stable.

Just for all the lawyers out there, this domain is under administration of
