Clojure has enormous leverage as a Perl replacement, and for many of the same reasons. Easy to install wherever there is a JVM. Comprehensive libraries that run cross-platform. Pure Java drivers for major databases. I reckon that if doing any kind of prototyping is in your job role, then anywhere you used Perl, you can now use one of the 'next wave' of languages such as Ruby, Clojure etc., where once you might have used Perl.
