"Perl Is Dead"

• A meme you may have noticed

  • Orlando Perl Workshop, January 2013

• 2012: Lots of job postings on jobs.perl.org

• 2016: Few job postings on jobs.perl.org

• Few new projects being written in Perl 5

  • So little reason to hire people as "Perl programmers"

  • Little reason for younger people to study Perl 5
