Mad Mad Mad Mad Monks,

Following some recent posts in Meditations on the trials and tribulations of being a contract Perl coder, I received more than one expression of interest in the general subject outside of the thread. I posted my questiouns in Meditations as being the least unsuitable area for my issues on PM.

So I wondered:

1. just how much interest is there out there for discussing the work or business side of being a Perl coder
2. are Monks avoiding discussing that because there is no really appropriate area for such
3. would there be any value to opening a section on PM for it? Or would that stray too far from PM's core purpose?
