I can speak about Netherlands. The process is super easy and super smooth. * I got my residence permit on 3rd day of arriving to country * I opened bank account on 4th day * I've opened my insurance by just going online and not talking to people at all Dutch system is performing very well on bringing tech talent. There's this "Expat Center" that handles whole stuff. In addition to that our company (Booking.com) makes your move even smoother by assisting your relocation and by providing you temporary stay until you find your dreamy apartment.

Do you guys still work with a predominantly Perl stack?

  Yeap. But lots of other stuff is also being used nowadays, including java, python, go, etc. depending on the product.

  Not sure about Booking, but at Catawiki (also NL-based) we are looking for Ruby developers willing to relocate. Contact me via email in my profile if you are interested!

This is how it should be done. Sounds like both the government and your company are doing it right and it's paying off because your are doing well recruiting talent. This is what France should do. But I do feel like there is some odd satisfaction in France both among the French and expats of having paid their dues, made it through the process and are sort of proud of it. Almost like they don;t want to make it too easy.
