Are there any new Perl jobs in 2014?

Is there growth in the actual number of Perl full-time positions or is it declining?

Companies obviously need Perl programmers to maintain and enhance existing systems, but we don't see or hear about any new start-ups using Perl as part of their stack.

Fwiw: I don't use Perl anymore but was a fan and love Moose and CPAN.

We're a growth stage startup hiring perl programmers to do new development in the Los Angeles area. Perl isn't the only language we use (we have some python), but it's widely used throughout our systems.

I started in a new Perl position with my current employer in 2012. We just filled another new (mostly) Perl position a few months ago. I can't speak to the total numbers of positions available, but there is work out there for sure and it's not by any stretch strictly maintenance programming.

Yes!

The world is a lot bigger than just startups, but see:
