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!

Glob Matching Can Be Simple And Fast Too

It seems there are two basic strategies for glob. One gives the result in constant time the other one has an exponential-time. To tell the truth, beyond the academic exercise, I am not sure why is this interesting. How often will you use 3 or more *-s in a glob-like expression?

Perl mentor needed for large and growing team - train the next generation of Perl developers in London

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?

£400/day contract, Central London, Senior Perl Developer

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.

Do you speak French, Perl, and passable English? Bilingual Perl developer needed in London

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.
