The single biggest obstable you are likely to find in the real world
is I suspect that there aren't enough perl programmers. There are far,
far more PHP and Java programmers than Perl, and thus the scalability
from an *organisational* point of view is much better. If we can hire,
we can grow. If we can't hire, we end up increasingly dependent on a
small group or single person for our livelihood.

If I were in your position I would spend a lot of time and energy
focussing your efforts on demonstrating a large developer base with a
variety of available commercial support possibilities.
