SPUG: Job Titles for Perl (and more) Programmers

[Craig Steffler]

Funny, usually the only real practical use for a job title is to include it
on a business card and in most cases I've been the one who chose what to
use. Whether it's Perl Developer, Perl Software Engineer, Software
Engineer, Sr. Software Engineer, Sr. Software Hacker or whatever you're
called by others the choice is pretty much whatever you feel comfortable
with.
