I have a lightning anecdote which I can present if we are using Google Hangout. Concerns interesting use of Perl. jimk From dave.s.doyle at gmail.com Thu Sep 29 15:40:16 2016 From: dave.s.doyle at gmail.com (Dave Doyle) Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 18:40:16 -0400 Subject: [tpm] Tonights hangout Message-ID: https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/ytl/ymBynejAVM0CYbnMlfmiu7xDMKgPC4jIsOqy53eG9_o=?hl=en_US -- dave.s.doyle at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A recruiter from the agency I'm currently working through is looking for someone with COBOL and Perl: TEKsystems? client is one of the world?s largest digital and print communications companies. They have a company location in Mississauga, ON, and are looking to hire a Perl Developer with COBOL and SQL background to migrate applications from Unix to Windows. Please feel free to reach out to Wen Chen if you are interested in learning more about this role. She can be reached at 905-283-1291 and wchen at TEKsystems.ca. I expressed puzzlement that an organization would move server platforms from Unix to Windows, but that's someone else's decision -- all I can do is shrug. Hope to see you next month.
