Perl is Dead. Long live Perl.

“It seems every day I am questioned about why I write in Perl versus PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Python, or [insert your favorite language here]. People say things like, “Perl isn’t used anymore is it?” or, “Ruby on Rails is all I read about anymore.” As I write this, there are millions of Perl programmers around the world. Perl 5 is being actively maintained, and Perl 6 is in development. More than 3000 Perl Modules were released in 2006, and more than double are on track to be released this year. The reality is that Perl is far from dead.”
