RSS feeds

We have various RSS feeds of the jobs site available here.

Please configure your system to fetch the data on some irregular interval. For example every hour on the hour is a bad idea; every 82 minutes is a much better idea.
With most modern cron daemons you can specify an interval in minutes with somehting like

*/57 * * * * lwp-mirror http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.rss ~/perljobs.rss

• standard.rss - Latest N jobs posted (see below on how to adjust "N").
• mod_perl.rss - Latest mod_perl jobs.
• catalyst.rss - Latest Catalyst jobs.
• mason.rss - Latest Mason jobs.
• telecommute.rss - Latest (some or all) telecommute jobs.
• by_country.rss?country=foo - Latest jobs by country. You can see a list of what countries we have jobs for by looking at the statistics page. We try to standardize country names as they are entered but it is possible that we could end up having the same country spelled in multiple ways in the system.

Add ?limit=N to any of the above filenames to specify the number of jobs you want. The default is 12 and the maximum is 30.

Add ?details=1 to get more details (job description etc) in the feed.

JavaScript

Another way to get a list of Perl Jobs on your site is to include the following HTML tag on your page:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.js">
</script>

Comments, please!

If you have suggestions or wishes to other feeds (other formats or other datasets), please send a mail.

We are planning to put links to sites using our RSS feeds on this page, so if you do, please send us mail.
