Hmmm... this fits in with an idea I've been muttering about - something a
friend of mine was muttering about a while back at a San Francisco Perl Users
group meeting. A collective (needs a new term. Collective brings to mind the
Borg and from there Micro$oft. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Resistance may be futile but
I resist).
Sorry.
Back to Perl.
Yes.
So, Uri, sign me, up. perl-jobs-discuss sounds terrific. Fine idea; let's get
going.
I'd love to see a way for Perl programmers in an area to find jobs, broker
each other, help each other out, make money (without the recruiter overhead!)
and push Perl. (Perl Pushers :-)
