Point out that many companies like Amazon.com and TicketMaster are heavily invested in Perl. Tell them about my company we are Sunflower Broadband a Cable/Phone/Internet provider in Lawrence, KS. Our house language is Perl. Occassionally we have to toss in a little C or javascript, but far more than 90% of our code is in Perl.
Or send them to this link I got from a fellow monk (I forget which one): Programming Jobs by Language.
You can see from it that Perl is not most popular, but it sure beats PHP.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
