Perl

Will AI replace Perl developers in 2026?

The question is about Perl .

Answer:
AI will not replace Perl developers in 2026. Perl expertise is in demand for maintaining legacy systems, bioinformatics pipelines, and large text-processing infrastructure that cannot easily be rewritten. The Perl developer talent pool is small and ageing, making experienced Perl engineers scarce and valuable for organisations dependent on legacy Perl codebases. AI tools assist with Perl code comprehension and refactoring, but complex Perl legacy system maintenance remains a specialist human engineering discipline.
