I'm not going to necessarily disagree with you. Perl was my professional go-to language for about 20 years, and I moved on to Python for the past eight or so.

Back 15+ years ago, you'd see perhaps 2-3x more updates on CPAN recents per day than what's there today. I'll always love Perl, but it's definitely on a long slow popular decline.
