Im a Junior dev and I actually have been learning basic Perl over the last year. I think Perl is still useful in shell scripts and most of the time its faster than awk and sed. But I cant justify using it instead of Python for scripts or applications. I cant think of any advantage to using perl instead of python in 2020. Even if there is an advantage, any coder can read and write python without learning python whereas Perl scripts are a liability, few can maintain them. I would love to use Perl I think its powerful and especially I see use cases for it in data munging. But at the current moment it needs a killer app that can offer some clear justification over python. I do think Serverless Perl could be a good idea though: https://metacpan.org/pod/AWS::Lambda https://metacpan.org/pod/AWS::Lambda
