The amount of perl scripts in modern distros is declining. I think Red Hat and Canonical with their strong Python focus will be the first companies to phase out Perl in their base distros ( might take a few more years, but reimplementing/developing new in Python is the sane choice. Porting to Perl6 isn't IMHO ).
