I thought this was an article in favor of Perl, but when you write things like this in the conclusion you don't make your job easier... I agree though, there will be perl code around for decades, even just because some ancient systems were written in it and they haven't been replaced (yet). But at the same time, if I were a CTO at a company with 5-10 critical Perl scripts my first instict would not be to hire more Perl devs but to migrate away from that ASAP.
