We're you writing Perl primarily back in those days?

Perl got used for some backend tasks. Nothing related to the webserver.

Perl will never die at Amazon. So much build and deploy tooling is still glued together by Perl.

Config files! And Gurupa, right?

Gurupa is in KTLO mode.

Config is due to Brazil (and later Peru) requiring it; especially for rebuilds. At this point Config being necessary is orthogonal to Perl.
