I don't want to get into too much of a debate, but I can confirm that for job seekers in the perl world, the market is very good. This of course assumes:
a). You're strong in perl b). You're willing to go where the job is c). You have reasonable expectations of your salary vs. your skills Honestly, if point you're a little short on the first requirement (strong perl), you'll still be find. If you have a solid engineering background (some years of experience, CS degree perhaps, solid OO skills, MVC development framework experience, etc.) and you're willing to work in perl, you'll find a job on a perl team.

I am not sure, 140 posts in the first 3 weeks of January seems good. http://jobs.perl.org/about/stats -- Gabor Szabo http://www.szabgab.com/ Perl Training in Israel http://www.pti.co.il/ 08-975-2897 054-4624648
