-laugh-  I remember in 1999 when the head of IT at $day_job told me Perl is dead. Weird that his language of choice at the time has now been discontinued. Meanwhile, the CPAN upload graph is still going straight up.  
 
You can find naysayers for every language. Every company bars hundreds of languages (all those they don't use). Fear not for Perl.   :)

I recently suggested that Catalyst be used for a new web application we're developing and the manager in charge said the Perl was considered legacy in the company and prohibited from use for new projects. Has anyone seen this? I'm new at a mid-size to large east coast (USA) company. If you have seen this, how do you combat it?
