[LA.pm] contrasting London and LA

[Nicholas Clark]

There's some irony here, I feel. In LA we have (at least) 3 big money-
making mod_perl using companies trying to recruit solid Perl people to
write in depth Perl code, and finding that they're in short supply locally.

(Shopzilla, Ticketmaster, Oversee.net. Not sure if Citysearch are currently
recruiting, not aware if I've missed any other firms. If so, sorry)

Yet in London it seems that there are more good people than good jobs to
stretch them:

(and I've had feedback that Paris and Amsterdam are roughly similar)

What's wrong with the world?
