Yes, that's a problem. Java is much more "in" then Perl is. It's easier to sell a Java solution to any manager who didn't have much technical experiences, then selling Perl. > What do you suppose the ratio of Java to Embperl > programmers is? Unformunately that's also true. You will find more Java programmers then Embperl programmers, but on the other side if you know already Perl and have some idea of web applications, it isn't hard to do it with Embperl. > > A common, erroneous perception of Perl in business > settings is that it is a beginners' language. Yes, some people think this. Mainly people who never really used Perl. On the other side I know a lot of people who prefer Perl over Java because 1.) You get things faster done in Perl 2.) Perl solutions tend to be more stable 3.) You have CPAN and a great community > > The way this works out is that I sell Perl to smaller > companies.
