<P>Greetings all,</P></FONT><FONT face="Tms Rmn" size=2>
<P>I hope you don’t mind that I take the opportunity to ask if any of you are
interested in or know of a person who can fill a Perl programming position I
have pending to be filled in the next few weeks.</P>
<P>Contract to Hire – Full Time <FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT></FONT><FONT

<P>Must be a seasoned Perl programmer familiar with Linux, Apache, MySQL (LAMP
environment) and very comfortable and knowledgeable with DHTML, Javascript and
CSS. My group creates and maintains applicant screening and processing
websites (HR type stuff) for several companies that do business with Choicepoint
(so far all of them are Fortune 500 companies). This is as an ASP
(Application Service Provider) offering. We have several new sites due to
spin up this year and we are growing steadily. This posit</FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>ion, like all the other three programmers who
currently work for me, will require you to work on many different tasks,
technologies and websites, sometimes on the same day<FONT face="Tms Rmn">
:-)</FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT face="Tms Rmn">. We have about
150k lines of legacy code spread over a dozen packages and a couple dozen Perl
scripts and many dozens of html template files. You will not be bored in
this environment. It is very important that you can efficiently read code
(reverse engineer and debug) existing Perl code in order to function well
in our environment. You should be self-sufficient with lots of initiative and
good work ethics; we have flexible work hours with some ability to work from
home occasionally (after you get up to speed on our environment). This is
not an entry level position.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Tms Rmn">We do not use OO Perl; it is more procedural in nature
though we extensively use CPAN modules. We do maintain a MVC type of
architecture, we do not use MASON or anything thing similar, we have a fairly
straight forward in house approach to separating code from content. We are
heavy on MySQL/DBI. Knowing Apache intimately is not required, but is a
plus, since we already have our Apache environment up and running, but you will
have to be comfortable modifying environment and configuration files for
Apache. If you just happened to be really strong in operations
(Linux/Apache) I would probably be willing to pay a little extra.</FONT></P>
<P></FONT><FONT size=2>A college degree is not required, but you must pass a
drug and criminal background check and probably take a Brainbench Perl
test.</P></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>If you are seriously interested or know of someone, please
contact me directly day or night, my cell phone or email is my preferred method
of contact.</P></FONT>
