Like I replied to Joel's post...

There's plenty of buzz about Perl.  See our freshly released website  
http://perlbuzz.com/

 From our "Why Perlbuzz?" page at http://perlbuzz.com/why- 
perlbuzz.html :

We hear it all the time: "Is Perl still around? I thought that  
everyone moved on to (PHP, Ruby, whatever)" In fact, Perl 5 is alive  
and kicking, and plenty of people are using it, creating new cool  
stuff all the time. There's constant activity, but it doesn't get as  
much mindshare as some of the newer sexy languages out there. That's  
a shame, and we're here to fix that.
--endquote--

There's a lot going on.  It's just not as sexy as being able to write  
CRUD apps in half an hour.

And I don't think it's a waste of time to talk about Perl.  Indeed,  
why else would one be on an advocacy list?

xoxo,
Andy
