Re: Have you heard about recent startups using Perl?

Yes - my company, iAnnounce, which we started about 18 months ago. The sites use only Perl (unless you include a little JavaScript in the templates :), running in a mod_perl environment.

We host family announcements (births, deaths, marriages etc) online for 50% of the regional newspapers in the UK, for instance:

Newsquest
Johnston Press
Johnston Press Ireland
Trinity Mirror
Newbury Media
Kent Messenger

Successful Perl startup, just stopped smoking... Seems like a good time to be Clinton. (congrats!) On topic, in the Boston area tech startups are seemingly a dime a dozen. I browse job listings occasionally out of curiosity. My gut feeling is that while not many jobs at startups are for perl developers, there are a sizable number that have it as a requirement or "the ideal candidate would also know X" sort of clause.
