The last two big companies I worked for were both moving away from
Perl. One of them was Amazon.com (I known there are still a few
boosters and projects for Perl there but as a whole the company has
become quite anti-Perl and has been rewriting everything in Java it
can get budget money for). It isn't because Perl isn't useful, Perl
helped build both of the companies, but because it has an image of not
being up to the task. Sure Perl's not dead but that's at least 100
high paying, high profile Perl jobs in my town alone that are gone.
Not because Perl sucks but because a lot of people think it does.
Funny you mention Amazon switching to Java.
I would expect more Ruby projects from them since the Jeff Bezos /
37signals deal.
