i am talking about the popular classics that have also been mentioned in other comments here, python, ruby, php, and several others that came after them.
with the older ones i mean languages like lisp and smalltalk which didn't become available for free or even usable on PCs until the 90s
i am not saying that they are all replacing perl, but that perl was used in areas where they are better suited, and with their appearance perl is no longer needed in those areas, hence the usage space for perl shrunk a lot.
