Delighted to let you know that after discussion with my team, we *will* be
making "Perl on Rails" (we'll call it something different) open-source.
It'll be licenced as openly as possible. You asked for it, so we'll give you
it.
Please watch the BBC Radio Labs blog for more information; we'll post when
we're ready.
In terms of the posting linked-to by Tom Loosemore, I've a blog post waiting
to go up on the BBC Internet Blog (which may appear tomorrow); the gag from
the bottom is...
sub job_requirement {
my $target = shift;
$target = 'this' unless defined $target;
return "You don't need to understand $target to work at the BBC\n";
}
print job_requirement("perl");
... so hasten yourself to www.bbc.co.uk/jobs now.
