Hi there, Besides the ongoing blogs of John Scolese, in the past few days fREW Schmidt has also posted every day and the renewed effort on perl.com by David Farrell and co. also has an impact. Is there a wakening? I'd love to see more people getting active again telling about their use cases of Perl. You do still use Perl, don't you? In other news my crowdfunding campaign to update the Perl tutorial has passed the 25% mark. To tell the truth I was hoping that a lot more of you would support it by now. Not because you need it, but because you think it can help future Perl developers. Go ahead support the project. Enjoy the 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? |
