Ave my friends!

Well, there was an unexpected company meeting today, for an unexpected piece of news: my employer is going through a hard time financially and has taken the decision of separating himself of about 80% of his employees :-(

So there I am, part of the people having lost their job. I need to find another job, in software development, and I would like to find a job where I will be able to use my Perl skills.

So... I am asking you for advice about the position I should apply for, knowing that I have an MS in Computer Science in my bag of skills. Shall I apply for a networking engineer position, a sysadmin position, a web developer position? You could help me by simply telling me what position you have and in which situation/project you are using Perl as your programming language. Are there any 100% lucky Perl programmers out there? I mean, people living for Perl like merlyn?

Update: I posted second thoughts about e-working as a reply in the thread, and I am asking for your thoughts there as well.
