"Robert was hired at Manhattan Transfer to fill some very
big sysadmin shoes - and did it admirably. Although I was
only at MT for a relatively short time after Robert started,
he did a exceptional job of keeping our systems - and us -
happy." March 8, 2008

“I worked with Perl to resolve some technical issues with new video equipment at the time, since the manufacturer was slow in responding to. His keen observation and systematic approach to problem solving was refreshing. His recommendations for solutions proved over time to be right on. His creative software application tools also helped our Engineering dept locate and keep track of equipment which certainly made part of my job easier. I find him to be a very good team player because he looks out for others.” February 23, 2008

“I've had the pleasure of working with Perl from the Manhattan Transfer days through the Riot days in the sphere of television post-production. Perl meticulously kept our production systems and network in working order with virtually no downtime over the years. In addition to plying his skills as system adnministrator, he often developed software tools that assisted the artists and ops personnel in our visual effects business.
Unlike many sysadmins, Perl was genuinely interested in the operational facets of the business and delved deeply into the inner workings of the production tools.
He brings a thoughtful and practical demeanor to the table, as well as a wry (or is that rye) sense of humor.” February 11, 2008
