Well, as a Perl user, I found this is not true regardless of what people saying out there. As a Python user, I know this is not entirely true, although my mind say Perl is dying based on the articles on Internet about 'Perl is dead', and if the language is not dying, my programming language that is Python will surely threatened by this status, and it makes me want to switch to Perl like a magpie.

That said, I like (and in love with) Perl as my goto language for the right job, and this opinion is based on - If you repeat a lie enough, people think it’s true article. :)
