I still love Perl. If I had the opportunity to work on an existing Perl project, I would relish the nostalgia. I would never, ever use Perl for a greenfield project unless there was a library that was absolutely crucial to the development, for many reasons. Perl 6 was so disastrous to the ecosystem that it effectively killed the language. If 20% of the effort that went into Perl 6 had gone into keeping the language fresh, I think Perl would still be part of the conversation today.
