Yes, I think you are wrong, Perl is not dying.

Do I know young Perl devs, personally? No, but that is also true for every other language (I don't know any other programmer personally, odd no?). But what would that prove anyway? It's too small of a sample size to reach any conclusion.

And, as jrockway said, there are lots of young Perl coders out there, they just don't happen to be my neighbors.

Well, look... I love Perl. I can't help it. Its like a bad lover I can't leave.

I just get frustrated that its not popular with the startup crowd :(

The Perl echo chamber has got a bit bigger recently: http://ironman.enlightenedperl.org/

Perhaps this may help turn Perl back into a good lover for u ;-)
