But Perl still has a lot to offer (CPAN, backwards compatibility, speed). Go look for example at Git (https://github.com/git/git), not a small nor insignificant project. It says there is 5.9% Perl and 0.9% Python there. Maybe some intelligent geeks out there still appreciate Perl, and Perl still does a good job.

Just use what suits your needs and tastes.
