First let me say I feel your pain, it's not a good time to be looking for work.

That said, I am an embedded software engineer, Perl is my hobby language that I use to do odd jobs around the Win32 and Linux farms.

I would think maybe CGI programming, where you can continue to use the experience you have, refocused in Web development.

Sorry that I am not more helpful, we use C++ & C here on the Left Coast, but they are old and NOT on the cutting edge!!!

Good luck in your quest. May the wind be always at your back
