Hmm...

Checking jobs.perl.org, we have openings from Major League Baseball
and Amazon.com on the main page.

I happen to know a lot of Perl coders over at Mastercard in O'Fallon,
MO.

I was offered a Perl coding job at State Farm in Bloomington, IL
repeatedly a couple of years back.

I personally wrote a *lot* of Perl code at Caterpillar when I worked
there, and last I checked they were still using most (if not all) of
it.  I even taught a couple of Perl classes while I was there.

I think your boss is confused.  It must be all that Java.
