Career Path
First I like to say hi to all the people in this community. The reason I am here is because I am lost and looking for advice on my career path.
Here is a short history. I worked in the IT industry for about 10 yrs, sys admin, QA, and developer. During 911 I lost my job. Since then I have been working as a prof. interpreter. Now I am trying to get back into IT. Because I have been away so long now my exp. is also a bit rusty, but still a strong foundation. However, hiring companies want fresh exp.
My questions. How can I get back to IT? What is the best and quick path? Should I get a Unix/Linux certification?
Advices, suggestions or anything is good. I am listening.

path::dispatcher::declarative
Path::Dispatcher::Declarative(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Path::Dispatcher::Declarative(3pm)
NAME
Path::Dispatcher::Declarative - sugary dispatcher
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Dispatcher;
use Path::Dispatcher::Declarative -base;
on score => sub { show_score() };
on ['wield', qr/^w+$/] => sub { wield_weapon($2) };
rewrite qr/^inv/ => "display inventory";
under display => sub {
on inventory => sub { show_inventory() };
on score => sub { show_score() };
};
package Interpreter;
MyApp::Dispatcher->run($input);
DESCRIPTION
Jifty::Dispatcher rocks!
KEYWORDS
dispatcher -> Dispatcher
Returns the Path::Dispatcher object for this class; the object that the sugar is modifying. This is useful for adding custom rules through
the regular API, and inspection.
dispatch path -> Dispatch
Invokes the dispatcher on the given path and returns a Path::Dispatcher::Dispatch object. Acts as a keyword within the same package;
otherwise as a method (since these declarative dispatchers are supposed to be used by other packages).
run path, args
Performs a dispatch then invokes the "run" in Path::Dispatcher::Dispatch method on it.
on path => sub {}
Adds a rule to the dispatcher for the given path. The path may be:
a string
This is taken to mean a single token; creates an Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Tokens rule.
an array reference
This is creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Tokens rule.
a regular expression
This is creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Regex rule.
a code reference
This is creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::CodeRef rule.
under path => sub {}
Creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Under rule. The contents of the coderef should be nothing other "on" and "under" calls.
then sub { }
Creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Always rule that will continue on to the next rule via "next_rule"
The only argument is a coderef that processes normally (like on).
NOTE: You *can* avoid running a following rule by using "last_rule".
An example:
under show => sub {
then {
print "Displaying ";
};
on inventory => sub {
print "inventory:
";
...
};
on score => sub {
print "score:
";
...
};
