Hi there, You might know the Perl Tutorial on the Perl Maven site I've written during the past 6 years. It needs some updating and I'd like to get some funding. Instead of asking for a TPF grant, I'd prefer to get you support me directly. So I launched a crowd funding campaign. Please support it!
Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

Back in the day, the Wombles of Wimbledon collected rubbish. Nowadays, since the advent of motorised road sweepers, they’d be in need of a new profession. Perl Developer, perhaps? Our client is based in the heart of Wimbledon, under a mile away from the Common where the Wombles famously made their home. |

Have you ever worked for a company with a micromanagement style, where a boss was constantly breathing down your neck? Do you hate spending more time in meetings about product requirements than actually getting on with building the product? |

Ever find yourself wishing you could see meaningful impact on users from your work? Trapped in a company with long release cycles and dubious release dates? Wish your ideas for product improvement didn’t keep disappearing in to the Project Manager’s backlog? |
