Not to keep the PHP thing going, but I would tend to de-classify about
30% of the people who call themselves "PHP developers." There is a VERY
high propensity among many in this community to go out and "borrow code"
and "retrofit it." I'm not saying Perl developers don't do this, but I
don't believe there are very many heavily invested in the Perl community
who have this bent -- many are devoted to the craft of true, honest to
goodness OO development.
I also left out a very important and I would say very well known Perl
*powerhouse* in corporate America:
WhitePages.com
Some of the best of the best work there. You can't even get a sniff
from them (eg. interview) without being in the upper crust of Perl
development. No Perl "wanna-bes" allowed there. All very solid OO
development only.
