Not sure if this is the right place to post. Can anyone tell me a good place to find a Perl job in the New York/Manhatten area? Been checking the big job web sites like monster, dice, and yahoo. I noticed that 95% of the jobs are posted by head hunters and staffing services. Makes me wonder how many actual jobs are out there.

I got my last job through a head hunter, and I couldn't help but feel like a bag of microwave popcorn. Stick it any old microwave, cook 2 and 1/2 minutes and we get our $$$$. Some of the jobs I've gotten offers for have very little to do with perl coding. Sometimes, I wonder if they've even bothered to read the resume.

Any help would be appreciated. I've spent a few years on and off programming in Perl and I wouldn't mind spending a few more ;)

PS. I currently live in Houston, so this isn't a small change.
