I have seen fewer and fewer people start learning perl, and more become 
interested about Python and Ruby (not mentioning those that like C#, Java, 
C...).
They can say that their preferate language is better, that it is newer and 
that it took what's the best from perl and from other languages, that its 
object orientation is better, that even though it doesn't have so many 
libraries as perl does, they are better than those from perl, that the few 
frameworks available for their language are faster than the frameworks that 
work under perl, and so on.

I would like to say that it is not true, but I cannot see any benchmarks, 
and I don't know those languages for beeing able to create them, and that's 
why I would like to know.
