Hi there!
It is no secret that there are less and less jobs that are for 'Perl developers'. I still see many job posts that mention Perl ( https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?keywords=3Dperl ), but those are most= ly cases where Perl is just one of the items in a large toolbox. In many cases you can still use Perl as a tool. There is less and less demand for perl application developers. There is 0 demand for teaching Perl.
I encountered this many years ago and first learned Python and now Rust ( https://szabgab.com/ ) because that's what my clients ask for. How do you deal with the decline in Perl-related jobs? I'd love to get your feedback and for that I open an issue ( https://github.com/szabgab/perlweekly/issues/594 ) in the GitHub repository of the Perl Weekly. I'd love to read what you do!
Perl-related events:
At the bottom of each issue we include a list of Perl-related events. They can also be seen on our Perl events calendar ( https://perlweekly.com/events ) and you can even use our ical file to see the events in your calendar application.
This information is collected in a JSON file in our repository. The file is linked at the top of that page. If you organize a Perl-related event or if you know about one that is not listed there, send us a Pull-Request and we can include it.
Enjoy your week!

=20 Hi there!
=20 It is no secret that there are less and less jobs that are for 'Per= l developers'. I still see many arch/?keywords=3Dperl">job posts that mention Perl, but those are mostl= y cases where Perl is just one of the items in a large toolbox. In many cas= es you can still use Perl as a tool. There is less and less demand for perl= application developers. There is 0 demand for teaching Perl.
=20 I encountered this many years ago and first learned s://szabgab.com/">Python and now Rust because that's what my clients as= k for. How do you deal with the decline in Perl-related jobs? I'd love to g= et your feedback and for that I open an ab/perlweekly/issues/594">issue in the GitHub repository of the Perl We= ekly. I'd love to read what you do!
=20 Perl-related events:
=20 At the bottom of each issue we include a list of Perl-related event= s. They can also be seen on our P= erl events calendar and you can even use our ical file to see the event= s in your calendar application.
=20 This information is collected in a JSON file in our repository. The= file is linked at the top of that page. If you organize a Perl-related eve= nt or if you know about one that is not listed there, send us a Pull-Reques= t and we can include it.
=20 Enjoy your week!
=20 Your editor: Gabor Szabo.
