Can you give us a link or something ? Seeing as they seem to always be looking for web devs with Perl & Mason skills, I'm just wondering how that fits into your "a lot of J2EE" ... Looking @ the job ads from Amazon, I see lots of C++, Java & Perl jobs ... I think they're using a bit of all 3 ( but if you look at the web developer stuff, seems to be more heavily perl/mason than either of the others. ) Anyways ... was just wanting to know where you get your information from. j.
