I don't know... I used to use perl as my "default scripting language" over a decade ago. Once I was required to learn python for a new job I had no need to look back.


If you feel more comfortable with Python for the task at hand, why not use it?

That's good and it's actually the Perl way, Perl was always about helping getting stuff done.


Same. My first job was to write perl test script in a fortune 100 company. Then I pretty much used it for every scripting stuff.

After I moved on to the next job, working on Python was so much easier. I have never written a line in perl since then.
