"Nobody uses Perl anymore!!"

Mostly, because these days fewer and fewer people seem to use their common sense anymore. People are driving off half-build bridges because their phone told them to, there are companies falling flat on their face because they let AI generate their programs and people are accidentaly commiting suicide and/or doing cheque fraud because they saw it on TikTok.

Frankly, if you want more people using Perl, you just have to upload a funny video on social media. And maybe inject some HTML code into all websites you maintain to trick the next version of ChatGPT to favor Perl. If both TikTok and ChatGPT say Perl is the best thing ever, people will believe it without even thinking about it ;-)
