Hi there In the last couple of weeks the Perl-related event organizers started to make more noise. It is more than welcome! Totally unrelated, but I have started a project creating a blog engine in Perl 6 and following it with frequent blog entries. Your input is needed for this! Other than that, we have plenty of articles to read for the coming days. Enjoy! Gabor Szabo |

Not Perl

An interesting opinion I've heard at Craft Conf in Budapest where I also had the luck to meet Damian. |
|
Do you have some great Perl war stories? Can you help guide and grow the experience of junior Perl developers? Never get tired of explaining what 'use utf8;' doesn't do? |
|
Nice working environment, modern Perl not a requirement if you’re used to dealing with big systems. Good fit for someone moving out of banking, or stepping up to their first contract role. |

My London-based client is interested in native (or near-native) French speakers who are interested in relocating to London (to join an English-speaking team). While the majority of projects are undertaken in English, the client works with a number of European clients where ability to read and process French technical documentation would be helpful. |
