My general rule (and Ask's as well, I believe) is to give posters the benefit of the doubt, because we think that the job-seekers who read the site and list have to be capable of taking care of themselves. The only things we categorically refuse are: - jobs that are not Perl-related. - jobs that aren't jobs (MLM stuff, basically). - jobs with no compensation that are not for non-commercial purposes, although we did recently make an exception because the poster was entirely up front about this being a job where payment would have to wait _in the first posting_, as opposed to us having to ferret that out later. -dave /*== www.urth.org we await the New Sun ==*/

I'm not sure how loudly I should say this but applicants should be *VERY* wary. I've recently had dealings with this company and the guy running the show isn't the most professional person. I've subsequently found out that he has a history of hiring people then strong-arming them in one way or another. (Email me if you'd like details) BTW, the entire application is written in PHP with a mysql database holding the info. I signed on to do some perl work with them through a third party and found to my dismay that there was exactly one perl program in the entire codebase and it wasn't even being used! -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I haven't a clue. I do know that no matter how often I told him the code was written in PHP, he continually referred to the perl code. Perhaps he just doesn't discern the difference. Or perhaps it's the old perl programmers know everything so they won't balk at PHP mentality. -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
