SPUG: How to make a living with perl(.|?)

[Adam Monsen]

My 1-year review is coming up, and I wanted to start a candid conversation 
on salaries (somewhat in jest, but truly in search of wisdom). Here's how I 
determine what I ask for. Please post a similar entry of anything you feel 
comfortable sharing.

%current_job = (
  position => 'Perl Programmer, Seattle, WA, USA',
  salary   => '35-45k/yr'
);

@sites = qw( www.salary.com www.dice.com );

@ref_points = map { LWP::Simple->get("${_}?job=perl") } @sites;

$salary = ( make_offer(@ref_points) - $bosses_cutoff );

warn "Grin and bear it";

return 'to work';
