The NYT, surely - as they helped produce one of the best Perl profilers out there: https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::NYTProf

I'm told that Amazon and Booking both have huge production Perl code bases so some major orgs still care about it

Good point. There's probably good money in the "host all the stuff that's old and scary" business.

My org is still writing new code in perl5. The degree to which it's unappealing is, in my opinion, greatly overstated.

Most folks who like complaining about perl5 are doing so because they've worked with some terrible old codebase written in it. Terrible code is terrible code. But well-written perl5 code can be fun to work with.

I'm not much of a Perl user, but [its user community](https://techbeacon.com/app-dev-testing/perl-not-dead-it-was-...) is surprisingly strong and enthusiastic (even if they do talk about Python the way the TF2 community talks about Overwatch).
