Once a language has lost the ability to recruit talented and passionate programmers, innovation dies soon thereafter
Probably very true. However I see a lots of new talented & passionate Perl programmers appearing at Perl meetings, on the blogospshere and with many new code/CPAN modules. So your statement doesn't apply to Perl.
Perl may have new modules, but I'm not sure many of them can be called innovative
CPAN is having a "purple patch" over last few years. Lots of new and innovative stuff have appeared and I see no reason for this not to continue
