in reply to Is Perl a good career move?

At last night's pdx.pm meeting, we had one of the largest attendances in recent years. And it was for a "lightning talk" session, not even a big name speaker, so the attendance is more remarkable.

But the jaw dropping moment is when Josh (former pdx.pm leader) got up and said "who here knows Perl and doesn't have a job right now?" In years past, this would have had about half the room responding. But there wasn't a single person in the room that fit! You could have heard a pin drop. So, Josh was reduced to saying "well, if any of you have a friend that knows Perl and doesn't have a job, I'm hiring, please, desparately."
