Perl is, by nature and definition, a scripting language. As a result, I fail to see why anyone would consider using it for large projects when a compiled language would run that much faster.

I have heard it from many sources and my recent search brought up only very few people so now I wonder if that's true and if there is anything we can do about it? I have heard claims that one of the problems is that Perl isn't a carrier option: If you learn C, Java or .NET you have plenty of places to go, plenty of opportunities. On the other hand you cant go to many places and use Perl for advanced stuff. I personally hardly know any companies where Perl is used for large things but even some of those want to switch. Partially because they don't find good Perl programmers. What do you think?
