I switched to Perl in 2010 (from Progress) and sticked to it.

I couldn't be happier for the choice I made: I'm working remotely from Romania for a US based company since 2015, making multiple times the average national income.

I am contacted quite often on LinkedIn for new Perl job opportunities.

I would say Perl is quite a vibrant and well living language, with a great career perspective for those who learn it.
