Granted, I'm not an author, and I rarely (if ever) see my name misspelled,
but as a matter of courtesy, I'd really appreciate seeing Damian Conway's
name spelled properly, and Randal (L.) Schwartz's name spelled properly,
etc. I see "Damien" and "Randall" constantly.

Thanks Jeff. Apologies to Dr. Conway and the Perl community for the mistake.
