I don't see any future for Perl5. Through a type of Osborne Effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect - the development of Perl 6 has also killed Perl 5. Few or none will reach for Perl5 these days for new development - Python or Node.js have obliterated Perl as contender in the space it used to dominate and I don't see Perl5 ever muscling it's way back. Fairly or unfairly, Perl5 is viewed as a legacy tool these days.
