Despite being a pythonista at heart and a rubyist at work, Perl is still my go-to language for when I notice bash scripts getting messy and growing out of scope and destined to enrich my personal long-term unix toolset.

Yes, Perl is still very relevant today, for me and for countless others[0]

Out of interest, why do you go to Perl instead of Ruby?

[almost]

There's no need for snark, it adds nothing to the conversation and makes you seem like a bit of a dick.

There's a load of interesting stuff happening in Perl, I don't use the language myself but I'm interested in what they're up to.

15 years ago you could have replied to it on /. with "F1rst P0st" and been vaguely relevant.
