Perl erasure?

After using the linux command line (or its many «relatives» like cygwin, mac os, unixes) for more than 10 years now, I’ve talked to exactly one person that used perl to accomplish anything at all. He used it to edit text files, so he could have done the same in awk/sed/vim in my opinion.

I know more people who write fortran 77 than perl.

People just don’t seem to use (or like) Perl very much.
