Hi there Recently there have been discussion about naming Perl 6 language. I remeber during the Perl conference in Riga, one suggestion was to call it Camelia. If you ask my opinion, I am neutral. No matter what you call it, I would still love it and if time permits, I would use it as well. I know the subject is sensitive and hope it gets resolved soon. On the similar note, there was another track that is very hot these days, is renaming Perl workshop. Recently concluded Swiss Perl Workshop, people sat together and discussed the matter in great details. Not sure the outcome, to be honest. May it would need few more such rounds of discussion. Even London Perl Workshop organisers had discussion on the similar line. As I said earlier, I am neutral to the naming discussion. I just want to get this over and we all move on to more important topics. On a lighter note, I hope and wish, the Chief Editor of PerlWeekly newsletter doesn't change the name of the weekly newsletter. Enjoy the rest of the week and keep reading the newsletter.

Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Doctor? Rock star? Or maybe you were intrigued by a different sort of star . . . hello, Spacemen and Spacewomen! Calling all childhood astronauts—if your passion for the space program morphed into a passion for Perl programming, then we have an opportunity that’s out of this world. |

The ideal candidate has a lot of experience with Modern Perl, strong but flexible opinions on the right way to approach a range of common Perl and architectural challenges, and an interest in challenging and growing more junior coworkers. It’s a Senior Perl Developer role, with a particular focus on mentoring. |
|
Taking the journey from Junior to Senior – and building a strong work history – is a lot more fun in the right job – somewhere with a strong work environment, talented and friendly colleagues, and projects that actually have real-world impact. But what’s more, a company that gives you increasing responsibility month on month and room to grow is going to give you the ultimate boost. |

They make music and tech work together to support independent artists. Yeah, that sounds like such a stereotypical battle cry, coming from a bunch of rebels who want to change the music industry. But really, they are doing it. Have been doing it for quite some time at that. |
|
Sitting right at the junction of technology and life sciences, this is a unique role. The company’s priority is to hire a candidate with excellent modern Perl skills, so they are happy to consider strong developers coming from other industries who show a genuine interest in moving into the bioinformatics field. |
