in reply to Perl is used 20-30% only

My company is also a pure Perl company resisiting the push of Java, C# and other latest and greatest languages :-) This is at least the 2nd company I work for that uses Perl as its main development language.

I am wondering though where you are located as I seem to detect an accent in your writing ;-)
I have always been curious about the state of Perl in various countries.
Is it safe to assume that the US is where most Perl users/jobs are located?

    http://jobs.perl.org/country/ - available Perl jobs sorted by country! (Also a good example of what happens when you allow free form data input and don't add a layer of sanity checking)

      If http://jobs.perl.org/country/ would give any indication on the number of Perl jobs available, it would be a said state of affairs. Just one job available in countries like Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, or Italy. That is, if those jobs are still available as several listings date from August.

      I get the impression that the number of Perl jobs out there is a much, much larger than the number of listings on http://jobs.perl.org.

        I wonder what can be done about that?
