[Perth-pm] Perl Jobs in WA

[Jason Nicholls]

iiNet used a lot of perl in the past and it probably still makes up chunks
of critical infrastructure, however I think due to lack of finding perl
programmers, or perceived issues, or simply "let's go with something
mainstream", or some combination they've been moving away from it over the
years. So yeah possibly some jobs with them but they don't seem to be a "
bookings.com" where they'd lap up every single Perl developer world-wide :)

In general I don't recall seeing much from AU job sites for Perl searches
in the past, it's been a while though.

If PHP is a better alternative to C# / .Net for you then Moodle are often
hiring and based here in Perth.

As for telecommuting that's really going to depend on the company, and if
they let you telecommute 100% of the time then they don't have to be based
in Perth (which is the case for me) :)
