The new version of perl in the works is going to change that. I fully
expect perl to become far more interesting to the programming community
with that upgrade. Perl will move from the old one to the latest one, and
then it WILL be a buzzword again.

The problem is that there are no very many big sites that use perl
either.
I knew that Amazon used Perl, than tried to use Java, than... I don't
know what they use now.
Google uses Python, Yahoo uses PHP, Microsoft probably uses DotNet and
Sun probably uses Java.

I usually lurk on this list, but I could not disagree more with
this assertion that perl is somehow harder to learn.
This might be because you are thinking to the american or western european
