<div dir="ltr">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 "<a href="http://bookings.com">bookings.com</a>" where they'd lap up every single Perl developer world-wide :)<div>
<br></div><div>In general I don't recall seeing much from AU job sites for Perl searches in the past, it's been a while though.</div><div><br></div><div style>If PHP is a better alternative to C# / .Net for you then Moodle are often hiring and based here in Perth.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>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) :)</div>

<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>
