Perl itself died. But Perl's philosophy of batteries included and do almost everything in a single language won.

If anything, Perl killed classic Unix and much of the Unix philosophy.

Every major modern design looks more like Perl than like Unix: Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, Java, C#, Swift, Go, Rust, etc.

They're all "batteries included".
