In my country there are no jobs for perl developers. There are jobs for Java, C#, C++ and PHp developers. The knowledge of perl is considered as an advantage in very few job announcements, but it is wanted mostly for administrative tasks, not for web development, and there are very few programmers that even heard about Catalyst. Maybe that's why I wrongly thought that this is the same in other countries.
Same here in Germany! The big companies mostly choose Java for whatever, whereas the agile new web startups go with either PHP or RoR. I can only think of one important (German) site from recent times that is built with Perl and AFAIK they're in the process of transitioning to RoR, too. Apart from the US and UK there aren't many countries in the world still using Perl for big web development projects and high-profile sites. I'm already starting to get angry every time somebody pulls out another chart or statistic which is supposed to show that Perl is as strong as ever because this simply is NOT true - at least not for every place in the world.
