[Mpls-pm] Food for Thought, on Perl in the Minneapolis marketplace..

[Nicholas Melnick]

Dave,

I don't have hard data, just purely anecdotal from browsing Craigslist  
and Monster for the area. The number of jobs mentioning Perl doesn't  
seem to be significantly lower, but Perl as the primary language?  
Nearly nil around here. A lot of sysadmin and build engineer  
positions, very little on 'development'.
