Anonymous Monk,
That's a fair interpretation. I would have made that clear in the root thread and I also would have used different wording because "against", for me, has negative connotations.

Perhaps:
I feel like perl is under represented in a number of places where other languages are dominating. What places do you know need more attention and what are you doing to help so I can pitch in to.

I am sorry if that's what was meant and I interpreted it the wrong way but there wasn't much context for me to guess.
