Well, perl, like Java will always be useful. It might be in decline as in active number of GitHub projects, but like COBOL -- Perl will always be *somewhere* on a server.

I created my first website in 2000 using PERL and what I think was an
early version of MySQL.

Domains were $40 and hosting was around $25/mo or more.

For a while I've been reading that PERL is dead.  Is that not true?  A
quick search shows PERL is in a decline.

Your Thoughts?
