Perl is pretty much dead, actually I've never seen or touch or heard new project being built in Perl for the last 10 years.

Python took over.

Perl is used in the background for lots of glue, and integrations.

But I don't think it was python that took over from Perl. When I think of the kinda web-applications I was writing they got replaced by Rails, PHP, and similar.
