I don't understand how Perl fell off and PHP didn't

PHP has fallen off. Who is doing anything new in PHP?

PHP has a much bigger legacy of web stuff than Perl, because it was so much easier to use. But there's no future in it. Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla... all had their time but it's all in the past.
