Subject: [Melbourne-pm] Melbourne job: PHP, SQL, DHTML and Perl developer
Message-ID: <088701c569c2$ca279210$4001a8c0@beast>
*********PHP, SQL, DHTML and Perl developer
# Work in a great team and learn from your guru team members
# Great company
# Great potential
# Fun
# Professional
# Innovative, challenging systems
This isn't just a job building small websites - this company has big systems
and a variety of products and services that have UI's constructed with
PHP/DHTML.
You'll be working with a team of some of the smartest development people
around so if you're wanting to advance to the next level and polish your
skills with the best of them - here's your chance.
You'll be developing and maintaining a set of browser based Internet
applications. You'll be developing applications that drive a global
distributed network analyzing and processing data based on a huge data
store.
If you're a passionate PHP developer with excellent DHTML/CSS front end
skills as well as strong SQL (ideally postgres but MySQL or other database)
is fine too - then this is the dream job that you've been looking for.
We're looking for the person who is skilled and talented in in building user
interfaces using Javascript, HTML, DHTML and CSS.
You'll be working in a technology driven company that is highly successful.
# We're looking for someone who thinks logically and is passionate about
their work
# We're looking for someone who is creative and innovative, who can
contribute their good ideas and bring them to life in the software.
# We're looking for someone who is a tenacious problem solver, who will
absolutely work out what the problem is regardless of how tough.
# We're looking for someone who does this work because they love it -
perhaps maybe someone from the classic "Linux Hacker" culture (Hacker as in
old-school coder, not as in Cracker).
# We're looking for someone who is self-driven and autonomous, who needs
minimal direction and can see what needs to be done and will take up the
challenge without the need for micro management.
# We're looking for someone with a deep understanding and experience of SQL.
Postgres is the database in use here, but if you've got the skills on MySQL
or something else then thats fine too.
# We're looking for someone with first class verbal and written
communication skills. You must communicate extremely clearly and be highly
articulate.
The systems are running on Debian Linux and while we're not looking for a
Linux kernel hacker, it would be valuable if you have in-depth experience
working with Linux.
Formal qualifications would be good, but not a requirement. We're more
interested in what you can do than what piece of paper you have.
This is an exciting, growing company that is already successful and becoming
more so every day. Send your resume to info at flatraterecruitment.com.au
Please note this is a salaried full time role and we cannot accept
international or interstate applications.

Stas Bekman will be talking about the great things that mod_perl 2.0 has to

We'll have pizza for the hungry, so please bring some money to chip in for that.
Bring along your workmates, friends and family if you think they'd benefit
from learning a whole lot more about mod_perl 2.0
See you there!
Jacinta
Talk Summary

mod_perl 2.0 supports all the mod_perl 1.0 features and brings a whole lot
of new functionality such as protocol and filter handlers, improved

old ones.

Hey Dudes
One of the things we did not do so well last year at our first OSDC
was taking lots of photographs.
I know that lots of people did however, and was wondering if you
could forward me anything you think is worth while or point me to a
URL of any photographs from last years OSDC (2004).
Thanks
P.S. Pass this on to other people that may have attended - Ta

I've been talking it over off-list with Andrew Creer, but I'll repost
the original message here
|I've just installed RT 3.2.3 onto a NetBSD 2.0.2 system with
|Perl 5.8.6, PostgreSQL 7.4.7, Apache 1.3.33 and mod_perl 1.29 ... and
|a whole heap of Perl modules whose version numbers I'll list iff we need
|them ... :)
|
|Anyway, I have PostgreSQL running OK and have initialised the RT3 database
|without problems. Apache seems to be running HTML::Mason OK, however
|I'm stuck because of what appear to be errors with the code in index.html:
|
||Error during compilation of /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html:
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 101.
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 124.
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 124.
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 139.
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 151.
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 72.
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 90.
|
|... this strikes me as something obvious that would have been picked
|up before any code release which makes me suspect that there's something
|wrong with my configuration of Apache or HTML::Mason somewhere ...
|
|My Apache config is pretty standard apart from adding the following:
|
|(as recommended in the install notes for mod_perl):
|
|LoadModule perl_module lib/httpd/mod_perl.so
|
| PerlHandler Apache::Registry
| PerlSendHeader On
| SetHandler perl-script
| Options +ExecCGI
|
|
|(as recommended in the install notes for HTML::Mason):
|
|
| SetHandler perl-script
| PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
|
|
|... does anyone have any clues as to where I could look for the problem?
Since then Andrew and I have looked at the Apache config and modified
it by commenting out the directive above and adding
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
before the directive
Unfortunately the errors persist unchanged ...
Regards,
Malcolm

I've confirmed that my basic HTML::Mason setup works by moving the
DocumentRoot to another directory and creating a basic Mason test
file as given in the perldoc entry, so at least we know that bit
works ...
anyway, as Andrew pointed out, it's the middle of the night in the
US where most of the RT developers are based, so we'll see what they
say by our time tomorrow ...
Regards and thanks for the help everyone,
