Yes, you 100% understood the concern right.

Major companies behave differently from a single person or small shops, in terms of application development.

They usually prefer to keep up with the most current technology, and this forces them to carefully consider the stability of their choices.

You provided me a very good and very convincing point. I would borrow your point, and present it as the difference between the life cycle of traditional software development, and the life cycle of open source development.

I am confident that I would be able to boom the hope of using Perl.

Thank you very much.
