IMO support from some big organizations could create/bring back excitement. What better way to catch a newbie than than tell him that company X uses Perl, and no, they are not shy about it either :)
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
And this? &lt;i&gt;Google does not hire Perl Programmers.&lt;/i&gt; Read this somewhere. Please correct if I'm wrong.
&lt;/p&gt;

I'm not sure &lt;b&gt;excitement&lt;/b&gt; is the right word here. Excitement and enthusiasm die fast.
