I'm not even sure what "dying" means in this case.  Perl is 
basically dead as far as new development goes (the next version 
has been in theoretical la-la land for what, 10 years now?  I 
wouldn't be surprised to see "Duke Nukem Forever" get released 
before Perl 6) but it seems to me the only thing causing its use 
to decline is newer, trendier languages like Java and PHP.  I'm 
sure the same will be true of desktop environments.
