[LA.pm] Jobs: DreamWorks seeking Perl guru

[Robin Rowe]

FYI. Job post from LinuxMovies.org. Thought it would be of interest 
here, too.

"This position would be responsible for the low level libraries in use 
by every studio tool with a component programmed in a scripting 
language, the vast majority of which is written in Perl."

I worked at DreamWorks. If you apply let me know how it goes for you.
