Perl has an image problem. Whether it is deserved or not, Perl is not seen as a language commonly used for new and innovative projects, whether for hobbyists, startups, or business.
I would like to sharing my own findings via the business community and by hobbyists, and take this short opportunity to open the floor for discussion. Given what we know, what is the Perl community doing right, what is it missing out on, and what, if anything, Perl or the Perl community needs to "be a contender" in 2011 and beyond.
