Hi, Meeting other Perl developers face-to-face, and getting to know them can be a real boost to your career as Perl programmer. The Nordic Perl Workshop was announced recently and other Perl events are listed at the end of the newsletter. I hope you will find something near-by! On the other side of the coin: Does your company have a Perl job opening? Would like to see it mentioned in the Perl Weekly? - You can have that in a sponsored entry right at the top of each edition. See one from Grant Street Group below. For details how to get included, please contact me. In the meanwhile, enjoy the articles! Gabor Szabo |
