My sense is that you are likely to find a number of programming or other technical positions where you will have an opportunity to use Perl even if they don't say "Perl Programmer" in the job title.

Count me in there. My official title is Technology Coordinator, and I have an assortment of duties, and none of the ones that would show up on a paper description of my job is programming, but I definitely use Perl in the course of my job. Constantly. In fact, I'm not sure what I'd do without it.
