The advent of outsourcing has greatly impacted the face of IT. As you know, India has taken the leading role in IT outsourcing and China is quickly catching up. In 2007, China’s software industry achieved revenue of RMB 583.43 billion and 21.5% YoY (year on year) growth; approximately 5 times more than half a decade ago, and CAGR was 39.4%.

One of these areas is LAMP, especially when the P stands for “Perl” and not “PHP.” This presents a unique set of challenges to the Chinese software engineer and to the Perl community.
