How the Snake Ate the Gems

By the way, why post this? The Python-vs-Perl war ended long ago. Python won in a number of ways, in particular the popularity contest.

But Perl still has a lot to offer (CPAN, backwards compatibility, speed). Go look for example at Git (https://github.com/git/git), not a small nor insignificant project. It says there is 5.9% Perl and 0.9% Python there. Maybe some intelligent geeks out there still appreciate Perl, and Perl still does a good job.

Just use what suits your needs and tastes.
