Glad to hear you're enjoying your job. Your post is pretty obnoxious though. Are you really not aware of what a troll this comes across as?

"...most applications these days being written in PHP"? What planet are you on? Most applications these days are written in Java, if job postings and language popularity are any indication at all.

"...this website is exactly the same as it was 2 years ago"? There have been tons of changes, but I guess you don't count anything that isn't a design change.

If you seriously want to know what's been going on with Perl for the last 3 years, read perldelta for 5.8.8 (and the rest back to 5.8.3 that came out three years ago). You would also want to read up on some major CPAN stuff like object-relation mappers (Rose::DB::Object and DBIx::Class) and current hot topics like Moose.
