Yeah, to be clear, no one's opposed to having a Perl server in any way.
The need just hasn't come up yet. Jake Luciani wrote the majority of the
Perl stuff, but I think he only uses it for his client-side. He might
have some ideas about server implementation.

Another factor is that Facebook (the original home of thrift) is very
much a python/C/Java shop and very much *not* a perl shop.

If first class support for Perl were to come from the community, I am
sure it would be welcome now that the project is at apache.
