As someone who worked in Zend up to recently and got a good sense of the
market searching for opportunities that suits my somewhat similar needs,
I can add the following bits of information:


- Demand for PHP programmers in Israel has grown nicely recently. From
very little some two years ago (and little tendency of the various local
"producers" to use PHP) to very nice demand. I bet you're aware of the
growing usage of PHP in Israel anyway. I know about lots in inquiries
Zend people get, in a steadily growing  pace, about either outsourcing
PHP programming jobs or request for references for PHP speaking people.

- Perl jobs are achievable as well. While searching for PHP jobs I was
always been told by recruitment agencies "if you want to utilize your
Perl experience just let us know - we have offers for you". Yet, Perl
programming is, at least from what I've been offered, mostly QA
programming or other automated stuff (not what I preferred).


Good luck with it! (I do believe you can find something good for you
with less difficulty than estimated).

Boaz.
