Yes, I use it for new projects because it is: * extremely stable * CPAN, a huge collection of community provided modules * great modern OOP based web frameworks (Mojolicious, Dancer, Catalyst) * very strong Windows scripting support (WMI, Win32, etc) and BSD and Linux support * there are lots of Perl programmers out "there" to hire if I need them * The language is actively improved and updated with new features, see the free PDF "Modern Perl": http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/ http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/
