You want to talk about "Perl is Dying"?  Or do you want to talk about
ways in which to publicize perl or educate people about perl or what?

If you want to counteract the meme, I suggest taking chromatic up on his
offer to publish "cool thing I did with perl" style articles.  The only
problem is that they appear on perl.com.  That's more speaking to the
echo chamber than otherwise.

Maybe that's what's really needed. A brainstorming session on how to
talk to people outside the perl echo chamber and what to say to them.
