I'll politely disagree. I propose that Java and things like Tomcat or Weblogic Server killed Perl. Perl wasn't a language that let a lot of moderately skilled people work on the same project. Perl didn't have "the server" to deploy to.

Java allowed an army to work on the same project and gave managers "the server" that they could control. Java had doctrines and best practices and ant. TMTOWTDI means that the senior engineer can't bully people with best practices.
