You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

No, perl still is used widely for cgi scripts on web servers and has a large and active developer community. http://www.cpan.org/ the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network has "5536 MB, 206 mirrors,7349 authors, 15693 modules"
http://lui.arbingersys.com/ has some language usage indicators that show that in October 2008 Perl was ahead of Ruby in terms of usage and either ahead of or equivalent to Visual Basic.
You can view other Perl usage stats here http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?usage_statistics
I just earned a tip from a Mahalo question from someone using Perl to read and work with xlsx files, the Microsoft Excel 2007 file format which shows that active Perl development is still underway.
