Switching to Perl would be perfect in a single developer environment. I could reuse a lot of my work. The problem is that with almost all the teams I have worked with, either as an internal or as a consultant, the only person speaking fluently Perl was me. I would appreciate to hear what others have experienced (and I'm even willing to relocate;) ) if I'm wrong. In web agencies, newly graduated and 2-5 years experienced developers mostly do not know Perl and are not even interested in it. I had more chance with IT guys, or anyone really working with *nix systems (not 5 minute Ubuntu install clowns).
Maybe Ruby On Rails would be a better alternative to get more additional team members interested?
