The line forms here.

Fully 50% of the people who attended the meeting were looking for gainful 
employment.  Not being able to find that, they were looking for Perl or 
other programming jobs.

The feeling was that the Twin Cities is NOT a hotbed of Perl programming 
jobs.  At least not for contractors.  Half of the people at the meeting who 
are currently employed are working on contracts for companies outside of 
Minnesota.

Granted, given a sample size of 4 people, this is not the most accurate 
survey, but it should not be completely discounted.
