Looking for Perl work?

[John Bokma]

I am looking for Perl work, but still not found a good site. I tried
http://jobs.perl.org/ for months, but in most cases you don't even get a
decent "we're sorry we found someone else".

First one who offers me a project gets 50% discount :-D.

It is a bit rude to keep posting these messages. What if every out-of-work
programmer felt the need to advertise? Wouldn't make for much of a forum,
would it?

I still haven't had an answer, except the jobs site which I already was
aware of. I hope that's not the only decend project related site.

And no, you don't get job offers via this group (or at least I never
had), it was a joke, hence the smiley.

More to the point, you shouldn't try...

As I've been known to say:

You have posted a job posting or a resume in a technical group.

Longstanding Usenet tradition dictates that such postings go into
groups with names that contain "jobs", like "misc.jobs.offered", not
technical discussion groups like the ones to which you posted.

Had you read and understood the Usenet user manual posted frequently to
"news.announce.newusers", you might have already known this. (If
n.a.n is quieter than it should be, the relevent FAQs are available at
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/by-newsgroup/news/news.announce.newusers.html)
Another good source of information on how Usenet functions is
news.newusers.questions (information from which is also available at
http://www.geocities.com/nnqweb/).

Please do not explain your posting by saying "but I saw other job
postings here". Just because one person jumps off a bridge, doesn't
mean everyone does. Those postings are also in error, and I've
probably already notified them as well.

If you have questions about this policy, take it up with the news
administrators in the newsgroup news.admin.misc.

http://jobs.perl.org may be of more use to you

Yours for a better usenet,

LOL, sure. Let's break this group down in 3 categories:

1 - shoppers - they need badly help with a script, sometimes downloaded
from a CGI resource site. They need help, free. They don't read the
documentation. They see this group as a helpdesk.

2 - contributers - people who ask questions only after reading
documentation sometimes they help others. Most have some knowledge
about Perl

3 - lurkers - they (try to) learn from reading solutions or just read
for fun.

Can you please explain which category is going to offer me a project?
The first are in for the free ride, the second can do it themselves,
the third most likely too.

Yeah, I have seen project offers now and then. They fall in the no 1
category. People drop an ad, and just sit and wait, and pick most often
cheapest programmer.

I am seriously looking for a good site that offers Perl projects. Here I
probably find none, jobs.perl.org doesn't work for me. And all those
bidding sites are loaded with $5/hour people.

The point is that posts about jobs are OT in this group, and you have
made the same request several times recently, and received what answers
you are going to get here (jobs.perl.org). If that answer is not to your
satisfaction, for whatever reason, please ask elsewhere. Asking here
again will not give you more answers, it will merely irritate people.
