most of the critical projects are being developed in perl

I don't believe that this has ever been true.

what will happen if there is any other language developed with more feature than Perl ?

I think you're looking at this from the wrong angle. There is no single language that has more features than all of the others. The trick is to choose the language which has the set of features which best fit the task in hand. Perl is very well suited for a large range of programming tasks, but there are certainly other languages (Ruby, in particular) which have all of the same advantages as Perl. On the other hand, there are many applications (client side web programming, for example) where Perl really isn't the best choice.

The best programmers are the ones who know the strengths and weaknesses of a number of languages and can choose the most appropriate one for the job.
