Where are mod_perl coders?
Hi,
Our company, like.com, has been looking for some experianced mod_perl
coders. We have checked most of the major job sites, including guru.com
and have not come across any that have real skills. Where do all the
mod_perl coders hang out?
Any information would be helpful. By the way, we are a small company in
the LA area with two openings for mod_perl programmers. If anyone on this
list in interested, please email me. <da...@phreedom.net>
Thank you,
davidu

(To tell you the truth, I don't know who originally posted this question)
However, I should point out that when you look for a mod_perl programmer,
that you be a bit open minded.
I personally feel there are few mod_perl coders out there that have "real
skills" when you look at the big picture.
As some others have suggested in other threads that you take a perl coder
or someone willing to learn and teach them mod_perl. When it comes to
mod_perl programmers, there is a limited supply.

Well, this week we've been hanging out at the Perl conference 4.0 in
Monterey. Many recruiters were hanging out here...

Stas may have been the most photographed person at the show. Ken Coar took
some group shots of our dinner as well. Sadly, Stas did not dance on that
occasion.

Kind of. Yes, you can usually get dirty apps to run under mod_perl by
using Apache::PerlRun. Sometimes they're even too dirty for that,
though. Try it out.
But one question here is whether persistent mysql connections will speed
things up for you. In my experience: no. Connecting under mysql is so
fast that there's no need to cache connections. Oracle, on the other
hand, profits *greatly* from connection caching.
Of course, if you really care about this you ought to test your specific
situations before you decide.

Persistant DB Connections
Posted by Mark D Wolinski <ma...@mrmark.com>.
Okay, first, I have not read the manual completely...
So, what I'm looking for is where can I find information on the following,
if possible (I have both the Eagle and can look up the Guide as well)...
I have an app that can't be run under mod_perl right now because it's
awfully dirty. However, in working to transition it to a new version which
uses mySQL, I'm going to fix parts of it to run under mySQL. Basically get
the data transfered to the database while the new version is being written.
Is it possible for a very dirty app, and ugly code to benefit from a
persistant DB connection but not run under mod_perl directly?
Much thanks.

I got a few, but I was rather busy being the kind and gentle host most
of the time. I don't know if I nailed Stas or not, and it'll be a day
or two before I can start sending those photos out to my "One Hour
Photoshop" processing lab. :)
For those of you that came to my party, thank you for helping make it
a good event! For those of you that missed it, you'll be jealous when
you start hearing your friends talk about it!

Try McGarrets above Taco Bell in Monterey, watching Stas' dancing skills

The shortage and high demand for mod_perl engineers has been discussed quite a
bit in the past here.
There have been 2 long threads discussing this recently.
You will find archives of all of these messages here:
