POSITION: Perl Programmer (freelance or full-time) - New York City
COMPANY: Orientation.com is a young and rapidly growing company that
develops Web portals in countries outside of the US and Western Europe.

REQUIREMENTS: Perl 5, LWP, familiar with object-oriented programming.
TASK: We have a comprehensive news section which uses a Perl-based
object persistence layer with mySQL as the back end: this database
organizes news articles from around the world in a multitude of
languages. We're looking for Perl programmers to write input modules
that will retrieve and parse text and images from various news sources
and store it in our database.

The input modules are fairly simple: you write a module that 1)
retrieves the news 2) divides the feed into individual articles and
parses the content of those articles into attributes such as headlines,
summaries, etc. and 3) stores the articles in our database.
We provide you with samples of the feeds and details on how the feeds
are organized in relation to our database. We also provide technical
specs on how to create these modules, sample modules on which to base
your program, and a testing environment on our servers.

Success on a freelance basis can lead to full-time employment working on
a variety of projects. Teams of programmers are also encouraged to
apply.

Email/fax resume.
Immediate opening.
