For those who are hiring Perl programmers, where do you find them? I've been trying to hire some senior Perl programmers (web and general scripting), posted on jobs.perl.com, and went through Craig's list and Monster, still couldn't seem to find any. Am I missing some watering holes? or as some people suggested, all the good ones are happily working, and they don't make Perl programmers anymore? (BTW, I'm in the San Francisco bay area.)

I'd say that getting a good senior Perl person is about twice as hard a getting a good senior Java person - so you may need to expend more effort that you would normally expect. (It's worth the effort of course since a good Perl developer will probably be more productive in many situations.)

The good programmers are, of course, in work. For 95% of the time all good programmers will be in work. That's almost the definition of a good programmer :-) You might want to look at your job adverts with that in mind. You might find Ovid's post and my rant useful.
