Please let me know what is the future and growth of the Perl.
See Perl 5 dev, the Perl homepage, and other Perl sites. Also, see Perl News.

Will it be on par with the languages like Java and .NET?
What do you mean with "on par"? Keep in mind that Java and .NET are mostly corporate-controlled languages. Perl is community-developed.
Each language has its purpose. Perl was originally for reports, hence the acronym for "Practical Extraction and Report Language". Since then, it has been used for everything from system administration to web development and then some.
Java was originally for platform-independent programming. Of course, that too has been expanded.
.NET is Microsoft's software framework that allows users to use a M$ language such as C# or VB. Perl is not a software framework in itself, we have modules for that.

Essentially, you(or your company) should choose a language that accomplishes a job as quickly and efficiently as possible. While I would like to say that Perl should be the universal solution, that is not always the case, and sometimes you will have to use a different language.
