in reply to Have you heard about recent startups using Perl?

I have no experiences to offer, but from reading online I get the impression that some startups want a "secret weapon" with which they can out-code the competition (a la Paul Graham's Lisp war stories).

Could be that Perl is no longer thought of as a secret weapon. Maybe it's not secret enough anymore? ;)

    The secret weapon is CPAN. The other languages are always just about to catch up, but somehow...
