Picture an idyllic village high up in the Swiss Alps, with expansive views down to the valley below and the craggy mountains in the distance. There is a smell of fresh pine in the air, and the sound of streams burbling by. Now picture a traditional wooden chalet nestled in that village, housing a busy team of Perl developers working with the latest Perl technologies. Seems unlikely? Well, lovers of the great outdoors will be delighted to hear that this is a reality!
