...it's too late for PERL. The system and kernel engineers chose to stick with C, PHP ran all over it with less cryptic syntax, and all the web 2.0 "me too" morons are now hacking away in Ruby and Python.
But really, PERL's demise was PHP. Especially since the CLI version of PHP, turning him into a true general purpose language.
Dude, you lost me at PHP.
Perl IS the most widely spread scripting system on a Unix host, after Shell.
