While I don't know for sure, the impression I get from Troll's Perl people is that the founders just don't care about Perl.

They make most of their money in licensing deals. At the office I've seen, everyone was working on mobile phone stuff.

I think QT may have come to the opinion there's no big money in desktop, due possibly to the long term threat of GTK there.

But there is money in other things, not related to Perl.

Remember, they didn't do a QT 3 either, someone else did.

Of course, that could change. I know their Perl people want bindings, so they may get permission to do the bindings, and we'll see a QT 4 interface.
