Please read my whole post and not just the first line.

I explained that my company is an all (or almost all perl shop). I also provided a link to a graph showing that you are correct. Perl is not as popular as other languages.

The OP asked for help in defending his desire to work in Perl. I was pointing out that there are large and small companies using perl. While it is not the most popular language, it is quite possible to earn money with Perl, rather than using it only as a hobby.

I don't think the OP was directly asking how easy it would be to get a perl job, merely whether such jobs exist at all. They do.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
