Hello,

I'm currently living in Atlanta but am originally from Lincolnton.  I'm
thinking about moving back and am curious about the job market there and
if any one had any leads.  

Thanks,
Chris

 From what I've seen lately, there are not many Perl jobs in Charlotte.  
One of the Perl shops in town, bizjournals, is moving away from Perl, 
but does still have a decent amount of Perl code.  From what I've heard 
they may be hiring soon.  You may also want to check out the banks in town.

Conversely, how's the Perl job market in Atlanta?  I have some family in 
Athens and have often thought about moving back that way.

Hi Chris,

Besides bizjournals, Red Ventures just over the state line in SC has 
been hiring web developers. There's also an investment firm, name 
escapes me, which I've heard has been hiring. I'd say it depends on what 
you're looking to do. Unfortunately, it saddens me to say that Perl is 
getting left behind by most Web teams these days.

If you're looking for some part-time Web development work (LAMP with a 
heavy dose of PHP maintenance), my firm is looking for a resource who 
has good front-end & back-end skills. Send your resume to 
jobs at knowmad.com if you're interested.


Good luck,
William

The market is okay here.  Perl is just one thing I do.  I'm more of a
UNIX/Linux specialist.  I've been working with Linux since 1994.  In
2000 I started doing embedded Linux development.  My Perl skills were
obtained when I needed a language to do heavy testing of our product.
The first programs I wrote would exercise the product so I could look
for bugs and memory leaks.  I liked the language so much I used it to
write all of our back end network monitoring code.  Our GUI is written
in Java but only used for the web interface.  All the real work is done
in Perl.   The embedded devices are all written in C/C++.  I now have
enough memory on these devices to start using Perl on them.

Thanks for the responses.  I've put my resume online
