&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Is there any opportunity for earning money by writing perl scripts for genetic analysis, molecular biology etc. for those (persons or companies) who need such scripts for scientific research and development?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you write a script and try to sell it to a bunch of biomedical companies, then you're unlikely to get many buyers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, plenty of people do earn money writing Perl scripts, having been hired or contracted by such companies.&lt;/p&gt;
