'Tis the season... We've got a lot of conferences all bunched up this summer; plan now, if you haven't already, to go support one or more of them, do a presentation, and learn from colleagues. One of the greatest strenghts of Perl is the community, and we build that through events all around the world! If you've got a big Perl workshop or other event planned, make sure to let us know here at the Perl Weekly, so it can get listed. D Ruth Holloway |

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. |
