To quote mst: The language is called CPAN, perl is just the VM to run it on. Also, as for your anecdote: That's fairly understandable. Plack, Moose, etc. are relatively new developments and despite naysayer's claims that Perl is stagnating, a ridiculous amount of deep-reaching changehas occured in the past 6 years. If they started 10 years ago, it's understandable that they aren't using any of these things. They could however still benefit greatly from them by identifying part of the infrastructure of their product they could easily swap out for third-party components. As well, in another 10 years, it's likely everyone will be using modules now considered modern, and completely different modules will be considered en vogue then.
