I believe the Perl community is very vibrant, however, you might be finding it difficult to find perl developers for a variety of reasons. Some might be the recent upsurge in Linux and Free Software/Open Source usage within the corporate environment. As those technologies are incorporated into corporate workflows I believe the once relatively plentiful pool of Perl talent will begin to deplete itself: some developers might be switching to other OSS jobs, or possibly be busy with a boom of new projects? Maybe the economy is at an inflection point where more and more people are just beginning to learn Open Source tools and Linux so there aren't many unemployed developers? Then again, those ideas are just conjecture. Maybe you might want to search for Perl Developers though local universities? Linux/OSS job boards? (Quite possibly look for out of work Linux Admins because despite my assumption above, there might be plenty around. It's worth a shot.) Just a few thoughts...good luck with your search. \ PS. Too bad you don't offer remote positions.
