  Frequently a negative sign. Up-and-coming tech frequently has a flood of talent. Dying: companies with vested systems (say, Cobol, or Solaris) are catching the tail-end of the curve. The truly good programmers have gotten out, or switched skills, or transferred to management. Hopping on a sinking ship usually doesn't last long. (Nothing against Perl. It's just a seriously fading language at this point.)

    I'm sure they said the same thing 10 years ago.

    I bet there's a ton of legacy Perl out there. Someone has to maintain it.
