All of those other languages "just work" too. I'm not really sure what you're getting at with this comment.
I worked with Perl 5.x in for 4 years a while ago. It's not as bad as people really think it is. That said, there are a lot of things that can cause you to go wrong. For example: source filters. Super powerful, but if implemented wrong can make debugging a nightmare.
