[San-Diego-pm] Is Perl finally dying? [was: Seen this?]

[Néstor]

I agree that most PERL developers are older.

I thought that the problem was a shortage of PERL jobs not a shortage of
PERL programmers.  I like PERL but one of the reason that I do not work
with it, is the lack of PERL jobs when looking for employment.

I want to see what PERL 6 brings.
