Modern day software architecture is too complicated to run on one and only one programming language.
But regardless of that Perl continues to power some very serious work happening some very important places all over the world. And that is not likely to change sooner. No matter how many web frameworks get written in Php, Ruby or Python.
The reason for that is Perl has little or almost no competition in the niche it occupies. And anything that is likely to be invented to replace Perl will by and large like 99% look like Perl(Read: Perl 6 or whatever). This being the case we are likely to be using Perl(or a Perl like language) very far into the future.
