<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>My family and I are looking to
emmigrate to WA within the next couple of years. I've been developing
in Perl mainly for the past 13 years. I have a few questions, if you
could help out that would be amazing :)<br>
<br></div>There doesn't seem to be much demand for Perl in WA. Are all
the jobs hidden away somewhere? What are the best job websites? I check
on <a href="http://www.seek.com.au" target="_blank">www.seek.com.au</a> quite often, but when I search for "Perl" the results are mainly C#/.Net jobs, with the odd PHP or Java job.<br>
<br></div>There seems to be some Perl jobs on the East coast. What are
employer's/client's attitudes towards WFH (working from home) within
Australia?<br><br></div>Is it worth learning another language? (I'm
guessing so). Are there many companies that would employ a Perl
developer and train them up in another language (given the number of
years experience I have as a developer in general).<br>
<br></div>Cheers,<br><br>Ben</div>
