It's still pretty slim pickings for [link\|http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/personal/resume.html\|Perl programmers like myself]. (Oh, that link is a hint :) My company has been struggling and we've missed a couple of paychecks now. I wound up sending out seven resumes my first week of hunting and have gotten nary a nibble. I'm hardly a slouch when it comes to programming, but unless I want to sell my soul and go back into mainframe programming, I need to tighten my belt a bit.

The web site is gastly slow, (calendar dated response time) but there might be contract jobs that interest you. The secret to searching is to create a "company profile" and then do a search. The results will list the opportunities that match your profile. Otherwise you get the whole list. Have fun, Carl Forde
