Say, Rob, is this anything you'd share with the Perl community? Or even with just one company founder (me) who's banging away on a prototype that needs to do some similar things? I'm not dealing with news, but I am using Perl to grab a bunch of different sorts of data that I want to stick into mysql. I'm always eager for example code. My startup became official yesterday, though it's 1.5 months old -- we signed the papers finally. Still not saying what it's about, though robots figure significantly in it. A rather different application, however. Some folks here asked previously if we're hiring. For the most part, no, though I'd consider someone here in Silicon Valley who has a very strong background in math, especially statistics, multivariate optimization, genetic algorithms and that sort of thing.
