Very few people know how to write compilers, but that doesn't stop GCC (and python/perl/ruby/forth/bf/haskell/foo/bar/baz) from existing. It only takes 2 or 3 people to work on a "big" project, so as long as there are 3 people interested in Perl it will be fine. If you want a new feature in perl, send in a patch. (Or in the case of perl6, "commits welcome".)

Huge! ... but absolutely no competent core / module developers. Numbers != quality.
