h1b visas come from companies that are hiring. so it all depends on the
company if it wants to sponsor h1b's. also there is a limited number of
them and they go quickly. there may not be any new h1b's issued until
next year.

there is a steady demand for quality perl programmers. the main reason
is that most good perl coders are working so there is a somewhat low
supply. but again, the issue you have is finding a company to sponsor
you and they need to get an h1b for this to happen.
