Perl and python / ruby ​​/ php - is it worth learning it as a PL, including for writing websites?

Question

Perl

Here, some developers tell me that writing websites in pearl is outdated and "smells like the 90s", and that python is now popular (I started to study at one time, I liked it), ruby, php (for some reason, both languages ​​\u200b\u200bdid not attract me to study at all ) - do you think it's worth following this "trend" or should I study pearl and the framework I have chosen, since I like it, and not suffer about the choice?
In principle, I have little experience in developing under asp.net mvc, bash, c#, powershell, but I have to perform tasks under Unix systems and it is more logical to use native tools installed in the system, with a minimum addition of modules and software to launch the framework (for now chose Dancer2).
You can, of course, say that any chosen PL will not be superfluous for studying, but it is interesting to find out how much pearl is in demand as a PL (and how to write web applications) now and in the future - I see that pearl vacancies in the context of web applications are available , but it is difficult for me to judge their quality / quantity.
Thanks

Answer 1

It should be understood that PERL = Practical Extracting and Reporting Language, and its scope is appropriate. Writing websites on it is a special kind of perversion, even with the use of frameworks.
However, if you learn the language well, you will always be in demand. Several major market players are constantly monitoring headhunters for new resumes with a pearl in the list of skills.

Answer 2

Perl is a universal and fairly logical language, an order of magnitude more predictable than Ruby and Peston. Its "roots" like "text processing" have long since sunk into oblivion - you can write almost everything in Perl that can be written in C#.
There are vacancies for almost everything, but the main thing to remember is that 10 vacancies for "pohapehane" is not yet an indicator, it is "market greed": an attempt to hire "Dzhamshutov from IT" cheaply. If you're serious about web development, stick with C#, Perl, Ruby (in that order).
