It's time to get going for the next meeting.  I think that Tim is going to
present a topic.  Also, do ya'll want to me next Wednesday or the Wednesday
after that?  I have a schedule conflict next week, but ya'll can meet
without me.

Does anyone have a projector that the group may use?

Um, Tim was invegled into saying he was going to present something on
inside-out classes in Perl (though it might be better to do OO in Perl
in general, or on OO in Perl 5.10), but Tim is so very very unprepared
... um, can Tim humbly put it off?

Hello All!


My name is Anna Rush and I am a Technical Recruiter with TEKsystems and

SQL skills for the Database Quality Assurance group. Must have advanced
Perl and strong SQL skills on both Windows and Linux. This job involves
both QA tool crafting and QA testing, so experience with the QA process
is also highly valued. 

Responsibilities include:
- Own and extend our major Perl-based SQL test harness. This includes
extending the harness as well as adding test suites/cases, triaging the
test results and debugging all harness or test case problems.
- Migrate our Ant, Batch and Bash scripts into Perl scripts and modules.
- Implement Perl-based logic to scan raw test results, produce run
summaries and then use the summaries to generate running charts/reports.
- Implement Perl-based logic to extend our TWiki and Apache/Perl
facilities.
- Implement Perl-based post-install logic for our Linux platform
deployment facilities. 
- Implement Perl-based logic to manage VMs running under VMware hosts.
- Help other people learn to write Perl-based automation scripts and run
summarizes for new test harnesses.

Candidate should be able to discuss, document and demonstrate Perl
skills in most of the following areas:
- Performing a wide variety of database operations
- Performing advanced registry operations on Windows
- Spawning/invoking complex processes, sometimes using impersonation,
while capturing all stdout and stderr
- Creating, using and troubleshooting complex Perl Modules
- Creating, using and troubleshooting complex RegEx expressions
- Writing highly portable Perl code to run on Windows and Linux
- Consuming and emitting XML using XML: Simple or XML:Twig
- Parsing complex, irregular textual content from raw test results files
and converting them into highly structured, deeply nested
hashes-of-hashes or XML DOM objects
- Generating/Updating RSS headlines and articles
- Converting normal Perl applications into CGI-BIN or MODPERL
applications running under Apache

The candidate must know SQL well enough to write and troubleshoot SQL
test cases from scratch. They must also be familiar with the QA process,
the software development life cycle and at least one major bug tracking
system.
