Hi All<br><br>Nick, in relation to posting 'work wanted' ads, your more than welcome, and this is probably a good place to do it! Employers are also free to place 'work available' ads, so long as they are general and are not directly soliciting individuals on the list (which is forbidden). Thanks for pointing out the lack of available rules, I will look into that.<br>
<br>Cheers<br>MP<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 5:00 AM, <<a href="mailto:canberra-pm-request@pm.org">canberra-pm-request@pm.org</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Sorry in advanced if my post is contrary to list rules (I couldn't<br>
find any)...<br>
<br>
I'm currently looking for work here in Canberra. I have 8+ years<br>
experience developing in Perl -- web apps, XML/XSLT and<br>
bioinformatics experience. Resume available on request.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Nick<br>

G'day!<br>
<br>
There are lots of good reasons to use Perl 5.10<br>
(<a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?why_you_should_upgrade_to_perl_5_10" target="_blank">http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?why_you_should_upgrade_to_perl_5_10</a><br>
), but who's managed to get it on to their personal machine? development<br>
machines? testing? production?<br>
<br>
If you're not using 5.10 what versions are you using?<br>
<br>
This is an informal poll, but I'd love everyone who can to spend a couple of<br>
seconds responding.<br>
<br>
FWIW I use: Perl 5.8.8 on my personal box, and production box. I'm not sure<br>
what I use on my laptop - probably 5.8.something - haven't looked recently.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>

G'day (?:Syd|Melb|Canberra).pm,<br>

Cross-posting, since Jacinta asked in a few different places.<br>

> Who uses Perl 5.10?<br>
<br>
On Win32 native, I do. It's dead easy to install, just grab Strawberry or<br>
ActiveState Perl and double-click. It's also pretty important because my<br>
latest project[1] currently only runs under Perl 5.10.<br>
<br>
On Win32 Cygwin, I have 5.8.8 installed natively (it's what cygwin comes<br>
with), and 5.11/blead installed in my dev area.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately all my Unix boxes are still on 5.8, and all for pretty much<br>
the same reason as we've seen on some of the perl mongers lists already.<br>
Most of the unix distributions still come with 5.8, and doing my own<br>
packaging for 5.10 represents a huge amount of work.<br>
<br>
The notable exception to this is RedHat, I believe the latest Fedora Core<br>
comes with 5.10 as standard. I note that lenny (RedHat testing) is using<br>
5.10. So I imagine that we'll see big 5.10 rollouts once Debian declare<br>
lenny to be stable.<br>
<br>
Adam's note on Sydney.pm showing the huge number of 5.10 installs vs 5.8 is<br>
probably quite indicative of Win32 leading the charge. Because there isn't<br>
a central package repository for Win32, it's easy to just grab the latest<br>
and greatest right now, rather than waiting for the packagers to catch up.<br>
<br>
Cheerio,<br>

Perl 5.8.8 as provided by Debian "stable"<br>
Perl 5.8.8 as provided by Apple with Mac OS X 10.5<br>
Perl 5.8.6 as provided by Apple with Mac OS X 10.4<br>

All of this to maintain a mere 30k lines of code<br>
