"Yes!!! "x1000

You could also head over to http://www.oswd.org/ and pick up a free website template and make some simple mind-blower web-based doohickey on a website that doesn't look half bad.

While you're at it, release some good code that YOU OWN on CPAN and link to it from your homepage.

Create a blog and write a few entries about something that interests you - programming related or not. Something that would show up favorably when your prospective employer Googles your name.

Create a LinkedIn profile and take 20 minutes to seek-n-find-n-connect previous co-workers who might also be on LinkedIn. More associates & recommendations are better.

Contribute to some kind of "cool" project. For example, Kamaitachi is a Perl-based Flash Media Server that provides the ability to interact with webcams via a web server. It could use some new features, tests and/or documentation. There are a thousand projects out there just waiting for something in your position to take a day or two to really make a difference and gain some accolades in the process.

P.S. - Good luck on the job hunt!
