Has Perl been replaced by some other scripting language?

[MavistheMaven]

I keep hearing it's good to learn Perl, but there don't seem to be any books in the stores on it.

Then I read that Python and Ruby are other scripting languages. Have one of these replaced Perl? Or has something else replaced it?

What is the dominant scripting language these days?

Python is a relatively newer trend. PERL has by no means been replaced. Just preference.
