In my group we still rely on Perl 5 for the glue and automation. It is running
some of the web, most anything automated for running many (lost count) builds a
night plus continuous. We use C# for most any database or GUI application,
having abandoned the old PerlTK and not adopting the TCL/TK from Perl way. Our
SW builds are driven by Python, but that is because we use SCons, or most
likely that would also be Perl, well it was, under Cons.
We really do not do scripting, we write applications and infrastructure using
only OO.

There's an interesting YAPC talk about Perl usage that features some data that
calls what you are asserting into question. His data shows a significant number
of new (1-3 years) Perl devs.

FWIW Perl5 is back in TIOBE's top 10 with a growth rate exceeding that of all
but one of the other to 10 languages.

Perl is growing nicely. It's just not the pre-eminent web language it once
was. It seems to get mostly used for data munging and automation.

Yes but the idea of "revival" assumes lots of new people are using the
language, which is not true (compared to others growth).
