No it wasn't.

It was a direct response to an explicit query.

The OP *asked* for info on agents that know about Real Perl Programmers.

Considering that this is only your second contribution to CLPM ever
(first one being vastly off topic about syntax highlighting on web
sites)  you are in no a position to critizise a long-standing, active

i don't know uk geography other than most pm'ers are around london. but
i do know there are perl hackers all over the uk and i have seen job
leads outside of london as well. i don't subscribe to the london.pm jobs
list but my understanding is that it kinda covers most/all of the uk.

best to ignore this troll (as with all trolls). he has stalked me on irc
as well. not sure why i am his target but he also defended moronzilla
too which says a lot.

  >> it wasn't spam.
  >> Yes, it was. 

it is stalking by this troll. he will deny it.

as for my being unemployed, one of my businesses is helping others get
employed. kind of ironic for the troll to point at that. i am gainfully
employed by myself and have been for many successful years.

also i replied to tad's post since i wish to not even be associated with
this troll by having any of his headers or attributions here.

You've done a poor job of selecting this newsgroup to try and defame
Uri.  He's pretty well respected and known here.  He's not a spammer,
nor is a usenet signature.  He offers a site and method to help people
gain employment, that was the question, that was why he also posted
that information.  Trust me, your efforts here are not going to go over
well with the community or win you any support.

MIME::Parser works for me. It is a bit slow and tends to use ridiculuous
amounts of memory if you want to avoid temporary files, but I have yet
to find a (syntactically correct) email which can't parse.

I think that Perl is relageted to the, pardon my [_fill_in_blank_], 
Aplication AFTERMARKET in Windows, and FIRST TIER in Unix.

That tells you what the focus is for Perl. Imagine doing Windows database
operations in Perl. What a joke, total hillarity.

Imagine doing anything in Perl in Windows, anything. It doesen't exist.
Unix has a need, all it does is web pages, %90 of the crap is web-pages.
You wouldn't use Perl for data-mining... not you wouldn't.

Btw, did Microsoft extend MFC to version 8 like they said they would ?

How is that much different from doing database operations in any other
languages out there?  In my opinion, most people that are Windows
centric in their "coding" are more likely beginners.  Unless you get
paid good money to develop Windows applications.  I happen to know you
don't and your own "I need a job" posting shows you allegedly
specialize in languages and frameworks that work better on non Windows
operating systems.  Ironic.

> Imagine doing anything in Perl in Windows, anything.

I'm imagining... I see no problems.  Would it be my first choice?  Not
likely, but I would take any job before I had to develop for Windows in
any language.

> It doesen't

What doesn't exist?  Perl, Perl for Windows or things written in Perl
for Windows that "do stuff".  I'm pretty sure all of those things
exist.  What doesn't exist?

I've recently recruited another programmer, and coming from a technical
background I do understand these recommendations. (I make them to
others.)

On the other hand, for the specific requirement I have in mind, I need
an experienced Perl programmer. PHP or Ruby won't do (but they would be
very nice adjuncts). Domain knowledge is unlikely, so that will have to
be taught regardless of technical skills.


Thanks to all those of you who took the time to provide some suggestions
and useful feedback. It's nice to return to CLPM after a break of a year
or three (?) and find that much of the helpfulness is still here.

Chris

Your adjectively offensive. You are involved in hiring people ?
I don't think so pal. To troll this group or any group for advice,
in that regard, shows your stripes.

Tell me. What is the average length of employment for programmers,
any country? Explain the definition of full-time and benifits.
PHP and Ruby won't do, but they would be very nice, what; 'adjuncts'?

Your an abomination who doesen't know its ass from its elbow, has no
street cread and a total whack-off, period !!

Subject: win32 perl compiling problem
Message-Id: <gmnhr6$6ft$00$1@news.t-online.com>

Hello NG,

I got an error if I try to compile perl with mingw (Vista)
btw: no problems with VS2008SP1 but mingw doesn't work.

---messagebox---
generate_uudmap.exe has stopped working
---messageend---

but don't know how to fix the error.

at the command line I got the messages
---snip---
 ..\generate_uudmap.exe >..\uudmap.h
dmake.exe:  Error code 133, while making '..\uudmap.h'
dmake.exe:  '..\uudmap.h' removed.
---snap---

Does anybody know what this error mean and
what I can do to get this compiling?

Thomas
