[Perth-pm] Perl Jobs in WA

[Ben Vinnerd]

Hey Mark! Yarp, small world indeed.

We're just going through the motions, it's early doors but i'm just
gathering references from previous employers and clients for the ACS skills
assessment.

I saw a Perl job at iiNet many months ago. I'll keep a look out in the
future, would be good to stick with Perl.

Was wanting to move to near Perth (got family over there + the weather
seems nice).

Cheers for the info anyway. I may just go down the route of C#/.Net as i've
seen quite a few jobs on e.g. www.seek.com.au

Ben
