As someone who has recently tried to hire Perl developers, I'd say there are more jobs than there are qualified candidates. When I posted to this list about the opening, I got *one* response. You also see companies like Booking.com who are willing to relocate people from all over the world in order to get good Perl developers.<div class="im">

Where are all these Perl jobs at? Usually when I find anyone who wants<br>
Perl it's secondary to something else. I've spent the last 5 years doing<br>
PHP :(<br>

I, too, have done quite a bit of Java in the past decade or so.<br>
But I can't stand Java, so I took a gig doing Perl. Am now<br>
finishing-up a complete re-write of a legacy Perl<br>
application...moved it to object-oriented.<br>
If you like what you're doing, it makes all the difference.<br>
Java programmers are a dime a dozen...if you also can say you've<br>
done some major projects using Perl and OOP (and/or a myriad of<br>
other languages and environments), you will look more well-rounded<br>
regarding your experience.<br>

*Subject:* [DFW.pm] Should I take a Perl job?<br>
<br>
I used to do a lot of Perl, but I've been doing mostly Java for a<br>
few years now. I now have an opportunity to do Perl again. I love<br>
Perl, but I'm concerned that maybe it's not a good career move. Any<br>
thoughts?<br>
