Erlang and Haskell were never really the mainstream so not much changed for them, but Perl was "the language" at one point in time. It was everywhere, and now it's basically in the same box as Cobol - people who use it are 99% maintaining some old script. Very few young people choose to learn it nowadays, and the development got super slow due to the lack of developers. Perl 7 sounded great on paper, but I doubt it will get released anytime soon. So if not dead yet, Perl is definitely dying a slow death...
