Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Developers for the company I work for...
All are Perl, C and shell programmers.

Favored editors are "vi/vim", "emacs" and "nano/pico"

Shells are: pdksh, bash, tcsh

Versioning System == CVS

Deployment system == a homegrown app

We use Perl 5.8.x and 5.10.x on near everything.

WxWidgets for our GUI interface which is effectively a binary operator. Its interfaces with our application servers via the POE stack and all its wonderful pieces. Recently we've gone to trying out "Rose::DB" for lots of good reasons vs. DBI.

You are barking up the wrong tree here mister.

Edit: Forgot the OS everything runs on and a few other comments.

Data Center == Linux for everything

Developer's Desktop == OSX, Linux and only Virtual machines for Windows testing. Our GUI for Windows is built on OSX and the Active Perl stuff for Windows is bundled into it. Our GUI for OSX is of course built on OSX and the same setup also can build for Linux.

QA does Windows testing in VMs only, most everyone in the company now has a Cranking Primary OSX machine.

Only the President and I are on Linux. And the President is finally capitulating to OSX soon. Only one contractor still uses a Windows Laptop and that is in addition to her Mac.


Continued:
I use Linux so thoroughly that, I'm annoyed by the OSX look and feel and the way it works and its automatic-ness. iTerm while a great product has annoyances that bother me, still. Many plugins for FireFox that I need to use do not work on OSX (VMWare's Console stuff and Migration tools).

So, I use Linux for everything for me... I have a Hackintosh for stuff when I don't want to lug my Laptop around and I need a mobile computer to stay in touch for work(with a USB Cellular Dongle). I have a Macbook Pro for my youngest daughter. I have a 24" iMac for the front room. The front room iMac also has VMware Fusion on it... mainly because a State Program my wife has to use to keep uptodate on Daycare ours and stuff only runs in Windows. That is the *ONLY* Windows running this house any more.

New well, I think Hell has frozen over.
A simple question asked weeks ago finally gets answered.




"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

-- E.L. Doctorow
New That wasn't your question to me though.
You kept twisting it and putting specifiers on it.

Like "...that I can use on my resume that recruiter will allow" and typical things like that.

I finally answered with what I knew you'd think was your real question.

Give it a break Brian. I know as well as you do, your attitude is the big problem in your getting hired.

Game, Set, Match. Fix that one problem and you'll be in much better chances to get a real job.
New Re: well, I think Hell has frozen over.
Also, here is the post that made your request into a challenge that became impossible for me to answer. I just ignored your "conditions"
