I would have to say that my original comment was overly narrow and the truth is that everyone I know in technology management says the same thing, irrespective of language.

If you have any Perl skills, you should regularly monitor jobs.perl.com and other job boards for your location, until you know which are the companies that hire Perl programmers. Then send them your resume and a link to your code. Don't wait for a job announcement. (This assumes that you are qualified; see my earlier post suggesting ways to gain experience if you are a beginner.)
