I suspect you won't be long on the market, either.

At least, you should have a lot of offers, from lots of places that have lots of Perl code around.

And if you don't try and strangle too many of the coders who left it that way.... :)

I've started getting calls again... so apparently the UNIX admins have dried up around RTP - and they're going DEEP into Monster's resume's and getting mine.

(Which won't directly help you, unless you want to give up that Perl junk and come over to the Dark Side).

But in a year, I expect a lot of things will be picking back up. (Or really far down, of course). But this massive overcorrection to the market I don't think taught the right people the right lessons...
