I'd say that the new generation leaned towards Python, Ruby, and the like instead of Perl, and with a boom in computer geek culture, those communities just outgrew the Perl one. Also, because the languages like Python, Ruby and JS are used in startups and the like those got more coverage in conferences and books, courses etc. And now anything that doesn't have that sort of traction seems to be obsolete and/or born to die by some. That said, frankly your comment is a bit off-topic and irrelevant--and you may get downvoted for that--because the question was not "Why use Perl 6 or not" but literally "What you do with it".
