My wife and I are volunteer webmasters for a charitable organization. Over the years, we've written tens of thousands of lines of HTML, JavaScript, HTML, CSS and especially Perl for our site.
We're now looking at finding other volunteer webmasters. We've been told that finding someone who can maintain and grow a site using this technology is almost impossible, and that we really should convert it to Drupal/PHP before we run away. That's a huge project which is going to cost our organization big bucks. Is it really the best approach for maximizing the chances of finding new webmasters?

You might want to consider moving just the static pages into a content management system (CMS) such as Drupal. The big advantage of a CMS is that they allow the pages to be edited through the front end. That means that any volunteer with no programming experience can modify the text on the static pages.
There are more PHP developers than Perl developers these days, but I'm not sure that migrating that part would be worth it. I think that basic programming skills are what is hard to find rather than knowledge with a specific language.
