The new version of perl in the works is going to change that. I fully
expect perl to become far more interesting to the programming community
with that upgrade. Perl will move from the old one to the latest one, and
then it WILL be a buzzword again.
Least, thats what I think.
That's what I also hope, but I don't think it will happen too soon.
PHP, C#, Java are much more prefered, because the programs created with them
can hide the source code much better, while this is not possible with Perl.
This is a big reason why the software companies that create custom programs
for their clients prefer to use those languages and not perl. Not because
perl is bad.
I hope Perl 6 will also solve this issue...
