I think a better approach would be rooting out places in the site UI and documentation that give topic purists encouragement and making sure there is a site document clearly spelling out that "topics related to working with Perl are welcome", at least as a starting point. Sanity! I still prefer the OT section solution; but a clear mandate that programming related subject on the fringes of being Perl-related would go a long way to mitigating for its absence. And I agree with pretty much everything you said with regard to the need for some restrictions; and the areas where those restrictions are required. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
