I am not in the US but I am subscribed to some of the local Perl
Monger groups there.
Recent discussions on some of the lists indicate that at least in some
areas of the USA
the hi-tech job market is expanding and companies find it hard to find
good developers.
Not only in Perl but in Perl as well. This of course does not mean any
of these companies
would be ready to go for the trouble hiring from overseas or training
their own people or
even raising the offered salaries.
I guess there are relatively few companies that would sponsor your visa.

We also know that there are companies in the EU that are looking for
good Perl developers.
I don't know what about visa and work permit issues there but I know
for example that both Booking.com in Amsterdam and 123People in Vienna
are looking
for developers.

regards
   Gabor
