Oh, I love Perl.  I'm gonna get the Llama Book for christmas, in fact.

Thing is, while our tools are "good enough" for what we're doing, 
there's always room for improvement and innovation, which might be 
denied us if everyone were to stick only to Perl.  So, you are probably 
right, but that doesn't mean they are of no worth, just because we 
already have Perl.  After all, would you call Linux a "Unix-wannabe OS?

Also, in the case of Ruby, and looks like Lua as well, they originated 
in other countries, unlike Perl.
