"Perl" in the name "Perl 6" is confusing and irritating

by Elizabeth Mattijsen (ELIZABETH)

This is a ticket with a long discussion on changing the name of Perl 6 to Camelia, Raku, ofun, or whatever. (Not *). A fun read even if you don't want to voice your opinion. Personally I don't know if a name change will make any difference in attracting new people to either of the languages, but at least it will, hopefully, let the two communities stop fighting and get a peaceful divorce.

Perl Jobs by Perl Careers

Enjoy Modern Perl with a properly Agile team in Manchester; mid-Level Perl Developer

Tired of seeing endless London-based Perl jobs? Want to program Modern Perl in the Glorious North instead, where the people are friendly, the tea tastes right, and you don’t have to share a city with Boris Johnson?

You’re Leaving, On a Jet Plane . . .

Let’s face it—your current job is missing something. Maybe you’re sick of Gary nuking his salmon in the microwave, or maybe you’ll scream if Susan sends you one more cat video. Sure, there are other jobs in your city, but maybe it’s time to think bigger. You know where everything is bigger? Texas, baby!

Come be a Perl developer in the smartest city in the USA

We aren’t a sexy Silicon Valley start-up with lots of venture capital backing us and swinging for the fences. Instead, we’re an established business with a long-term reputation for being one of the best hosting companies in the world. We aren’t sexy. We’re comfortable. And unlike most startups, we know we’ll still be around tomorrow.

Do you want to save the world using wit, intellect and a heavy dose of Perl?

Hippies used to be the ones trying to save the world — today the tech gurus have joined them. At least the ones inventing clever tech solutions that make the world a little bit of a better place. This particular company is doing their part by providing charities with online payment and campaign solutions.

A love-fest of job satisfaction

What if you had a job you loved, and that job helped other people find jobs they loved? If you’re an advocate of ‘sharing is caring’, then jump on the merry-go-round of contentment where everybody’s satisfied.
