Right, and my point was I don't want a Perl job. I've had Perl jobs, from jobs.perl.org. I don't want a PHP job, nobody would work with me in that language either. Most people use Ruby/Python in my circles these days.
I find language specific jobs incredibly lame. Language is a small factor in what I do. I just want to be able to say, "I'm gonna do it in Perl." and not have everyone groan and not want to work with me on it.
Well, I do -- at least for a subset of those geographic areas.
Something similar goes for most any language, except (probably) Java and PHP. Unless you already live in e.g. London or some other hub for a given environment.
