Nestoria Blog

As astute readers of this blog will have noted, we use a programming language called perl to build some of the technology behind Nestoria. Hence our recent post seeking skilled perl engineers and our sponsorship of the London Perl Workshop back in December.

So it probably comes as no surprise that we always have our eyes open for interesting new perl techniques to help us work more efficiently. Happily, the amazing worldwide perl community is great about providing those tools (thanks!) - the only problem is finding exactly the bit of wisdom you need, exactly when you need it.

Likewise (as you might expect from engineers working on a search engine) we always have our eyes open for innovations in the realm of search.

Enter Spiros, Nestoria engineer by day, and problem solver extraordinaire by day and night. Whilst recently exploring Google’s co-op technology Spiros had the bright idea to put together a perl specific search engine.

We’ve been using it for the past few days, and it works well. The next time you’re searching for something perl related give it a try and let Spiros know what you think.
