Dear brothers,
Thank you very much for your replies on my meditation (especially McD, perrin and adrianh).
I'm glade that this problem is worry many of us more or less. So, Perl developer should master some another programming language: C++, Java, COBOL etc. But I would like to suggest a second way. We can offer for potential employers following set of perl tools:
    
      Perl, mod_perl, Apache (configuration of server with using Perl), RDBMS (PL/Perl), 
      embedding Perl into html code (Manson, EmbPerl), using Perl by system admins
which should grouped by an universe of discourse.
And I would like to suggest create a new section which will consist descriptions of apply of Perl in the enterprise projects.
I think and I hope that will be usefull for advance Perl as a tool for development of corporate solutions (perrin told about it).

    You forgot one: Perl 6. The One Language to Rule them ALL!

      Well IMHO The One Language to Rule Them ALL And In The Darkness Bind Them is C# or Java. Perl doesn't strive to rule, it strives to serve!
