You can argue forever about what constitutes a dying language from a purly technological or sociological point of view.
Imho Perl has still a great community and is a good (and even improving) technology. But (at least that is my impression) there is one area in which Perl is definitely dying and that is as an asset for contracting jobs. There are of course still Perl-jobs to be had but most of the projects are not very interesting maintanance work only - and it is getting worse every year (or so it seems to me). Maybe the situation is better if you go on a pay-roll for a company such as Booking but for freelancers I guess Perl in a terminal stage. Or has someone different experiences?
