I have good and bad news for you,<br>bad news come first:<p>
my expression is this - all new software mostly scripted with python - KDE GUI stuff (kig etc) or editors (e.g. notepad++ or sublime or whatever), the further we go the less perl support is.
<p>python gained much momentum, and - I join the opinion - that damage bringed into community by perl6 in its current state is huge and continuing.
<p>Perl5 is much better than python, but python is better maintained - e.g. look at Qt support - python have latest Qt5, perl have NONE...
<p>now the good news:<ul>
<li>the situation is not likely to become worse than now, it is mostly stabilised.
<li>And you can often use <code>Inline::Python</code>, for <ul><li>either utilising forgotten CPAN library (so you can use Qt from Perl using python support) <li>or just to reuse new library that is available only for python</ul> </ul>
<p>
Fortunately <code>Inline::Python</code> is in a great shape now, and sponsored by grant.
<p>I only miss one thing - [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PythonPerl/0.9] - which is abandoned and not available at their site - maybe Stefan Seifert (author of Inline::Python) will help me with this?<br>if so - nothing to worry about, the future is bright, :)
