Very few people know how to write compilers, but that doesn't stop GCC
(and python/perl/ruby/forth/bf/haskell/foo/bar/baz) from existing.  It
only takes 2 or 3 people to work on a "big" project, so as long as there
are 3 people interested in Perl it will be fine.  If you want a new
feature in perl, send in a patch.  (Or in the case of perl6, "commits
welcome".)

For example, look at PHP's community.  Huge! ... but absolutely no
competent core / module developers.  Numbers != quality.
