Embarrassing. Perl5 is dead, you people should be moving to perl6 before you wreck its chances to be a player.

(E.g. adding 21,000 Perl projects that no one watches doesn't really change things.) The statistics have huge selection bias so drawing any sort of conclusion from them is absurd.

"I eliminated projects with less than 3 watchers" - Perl projects are usually smaller, so there are less watchers. "Perl decline" is also suspicious: "This graph shows the number of commits per day, over the first 300 days of a project's life.". Currently there are many old Perl projects that are uploaded to GitHub, they usually were written by only one developers, or commited by only one developer. So this result is not surprising.
