[sf-perl] Two Jobs in San Mateo

[Josh Berkus]

Folks,

There's two positions available at the startup where I work.  It's the good 
kind of startup; friendly and informal where results count for more than 
position.   I certainly like it.

Contact me if you're interested in either; these jobs can also be found 
through O'Reilly Connection.
