From my perspective — and I went through a years-long period of writing exclusively in Perl — Perl just doesn't seem to have anything to offer me anymore. I resisted Python for a long time because Perl was so much faster, but eventually I switched because Python was much less a write-only language.
I've since switched to Go, because the way it handles static types is actually pretty awesome (for the most part … there are edge & corner cases), and I find that my software is much more reliable in Go.
For my quick-and-dirty tasks I have Lisp; for my job I have Go: does Perl 6 offer me anything I don't already have?
