Perl far from dead, more popular than you think (Royal Pingdom)

The Royal Pingdom takes a look at popular websites that use Perl. "Perl has been around since 1987 and became an early darling of web developers. These days, however, you don't hear much about Perl. Everyone seems to be talking about trendier languages like PHP, Python and Ruby, with Perl left in the back as a neglected, not-so-hip cousin. That might lead you to think that Perl is dying, but as it turns out, it's still used by plenty of websites out there, including some pretty big hitters."
