I agree. There are probably more of us than might be immediately obvious, too. If a mod_perl programmer doesn't see too many mod_perl jobs in their area, they're likely to highlight other areas when they go job hunting even if they'd rather do mod_perl and could do it well.
I wonder if telecommuting plus occasional travel for face-to-face would sell better than pure telecommuting. Is this done very often in telecommute situations?

I suspect that there are actually quite a few people on this list that would _love_ to do mod_perl full time. after talking to a few employers over the past year, it's getting them all in one place that's the problem - you probably want them onsite and, unlike the slurry of java programmers in your immediate area, what mod_perl experts there are are spread over the globe and may be unwilling to relocate. open up to telecommuting and I suspect you would soon find yourself fully staffed. --Geoff
