Some do get "marketed" via Perl News (http://perlnews.org/ http://perlnews.org/) or PerlMonks (http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.perlmonks.org/). But I know of many Perl built projects which you only get to hear about via contacts, mailing lists or jobs postings.
Here are some announcements of Perl built projects (that I recalled and found quickly)...

And here is a list of Perl start-ups that come to mind: Lokku, Moonfruit, CareerJet & Adzuna.
