Perl Not Dead
Great essay on the current state of Perl. Although Perl is dead to me, it isn’t dead. I don’t use Perl anymore, but I would, given the right circumstances. I’m a big fan of the Perl community, and their quirky love of all things $igil. Chicago has a pretty big Perl development market. My former employer Performics, has around 40 or so Perl folks chugging away on a large Perl based site. Perl is alive and well. It’s best not to count it out of the game just yet, or ever.
