What about legacy systems that were once popular but aren't anymore, like PHP? I know there's a lot of wordpress development demand out there and fewer and fewer skilled devs who are willing to learn and/or work with PHP.

PHP is still too mainstream these days.

However, if you are an experienced Perl programmer, you'll have better luck.

But _starting_ with Perl or PHP is probably not the best course of action; this is a path for already experienced developers.
