Perl's decline was cultural
Perl is amazing when it comes to regular expressions too. It's one of the reasons why perl is way more fun to write than Python. I still use perl for regex heavy tasks. I wish that python had integrated regex into the language the same way.

My fingers have long forgotten all the PERL they once knew. But it was always pleasant.
