There really is no Perl Leader these days. The language is run by a “steering committee”. The community has a couple of shining stars such as Mohammad Anwar who runs The Weekly Challenge https://theweeklychallenge.org/ https://theweeklychallenge.org/ and Gabor Szabo https://perlmaven.com/about https://perlmaven.com/about They are also both co-editors of the Perl Weekly https://perlweekly.com/ https://perlweekly.com/ The Perl Foundation co-ordinates activities such as grants funding development, fundraising, and conference organizing. https://www.perlfoundation.org/ https://www.perlfoundation.org/ There are also a few senior Perl personalities still around such as brian d. foy who continue to write and update books and blogs. The post-Larry Wall community seems to be doing ok so far. What is notably missing is more active participation from companies making the most use of Perl such as Craigslist or Duck Duck Go.
