In response to things like this, employers are writing insane specifications, like this one I received from a headhunter today:
- Must be mod/CGI Perl. experience not straight Perl.
- Minimum of four (4) years experience with Object Oriented Perl Programming, EMB Perl, Perl DBI, Mod_Perl
- Five years total experience with programming
- Experience with Object-oriented application design and architectures
- Solid knowledge and/or experience with CGI
- Knowledge and use of DBD/DBI
- Author a Perl program and/or install a Perl Module
- Solid understanding and practical experience with Oracle, SQL, SOAP, XML
- Practical experience with requirements gathering, interaction with business users
- Practical experience with UML
- Background in Unix
- Solid understating of Shared Libraries and how they apply to Perl
- Experience with Oracle
Those are the minimum requirements and don't bother applying for anything unless you can at least describe the technologies they mention.
I have never seen a mainstream job ad mention programming *ability* in 20 years. They just mention platforms and if you don't have them you are irrelevant.
