Perl and Bash don't really change too much anymore. One of the upsides of the Perl 6 never happening is that Perl is relatively static. I think a lot of the issue is that these languages love to install .directories in your home directory where all your libraries live and it works seamlessly for you.. but no one else. We use python, perl and bash. Generally people who are more comfortable in one than the other just choose that language.
