note greengaroo <p>Prologue:</p> <p>I would like to learn more about the employment status of Perl developers, for several reasons: first, I teach Perl programming and I would like to tell my students what they should expect from learning the language. Second, beside teaching, I also work as a consultant and I do Perl development full time. I always preach for Perl and defend the values of the language among my coworkers. Third, I once was told by a headhunter that I should focus on PHP instead of Perl because that would be better for my career (I refused her PHP job and got a better Perl job instead).</p> <p>Question/topic:</p> <p><b>What kind of Perl job do you have / are you looking for?</b></p> <p>Choices: <ul> <li>I have a job doing full time Perl programming, I am not looking for a new one.</li> <li>I have a job doing full time Perl programming, but I would love to find a better opportunity.</li> <li>I have a job doing full time Perl programming, but I hate it! I would prefer working with another language.</li> <li>I have a job and I do only a little Perl programming but that's enough for me.</li> <li>I have a job and I do only a little Perl programming but I'd like to do more!</li> <li>I have a job and I do only a little Perl programming but that's too much for me!</li> <li>I have a job, I don't do Perl programming, and I don't care for a new job.</li> <li>I have a job, I don't do Perl programming but I would love to, if I find a good opportunity.</li> <li>I have a job but I only do Perl programming on weekends. I don't want to work full time in Perl. It's more like a hobby.</li> <li>I don't have a job right now, I would love to find a Perl programming opportunity.</li> <li>I don't have a job right now but I am not looking to work with Perl.</li> <li>I don't have a job right now and I love it!</li> <li>Being paid for doing Perl programming??? I would do that for free!</li> <li>Perl is dead. There are no job opportunities for Perl developpers anymore.</li> <li>What is "Perl"?</li> <li>What is "job"?</li> </ul> </p> <p>Thank you!</p> <div class="pmsig"> -- Take my advice.
