there have always been people who did't like perl, even in it's heyday. now many people who may have used perl use other languages (but many of those who are python fanatics never used perl to start with, becouse they didn't like it, so it's hard to consider them a 'loss' for perl)
perl is still used extensivly, but it's no longer the only game in town.
I suspect that more people use perl today, even if it is a smaller percentage, simply becouse there are more people involved.

I still use perl because there far more packages available than for any other scripting language: CPAN rules.

That no doubt used to be true. But looking at the requirements of my recent projects, Python comes out better. For example, I recently needed bindings for talking to Beagle search. The options are C#, C, and Python.
