What I wanted to say is that there's no reliable, etc. data to prove the (other) claims, which is why I used the plural there:
in particular that "Golf and Obfu are by far the leading candidates for discrediting Perl."
Agreed.
As indicated in the "Which is the Most Popular Golfing Language?" section in this node,
even back in 2009, code golf was more popular in Python than Perl.
The reasons for Python's rise in popularity compared to Perl may make an interesting discussion, but I doubt code golf was a factor.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
