Good luck with that. In 1999 every programmer I knew used Perl. Now I don't know anybody that hasn't moved on to Ruby or Python.

Oddly enough, despite Ruby's origins, Perl is still very widely used in Japan.

web development mostly. Big Japanese companies use perl for their backend and you can find many blog entries about perl in Japanese.

On computers, mostly.
