The old friend, you can always rely on to do quick scripting work. I've written non-trivial quantities of Perl in the past, and maintained other people's Perl code too. Contrary to popular opinion, I've always found it easy to maintain.

I still call upon Perl to do

    open(FILEHANDLE, $file) or die;
    while(<FILEHANDLE>){
    ....
    }
    close(FILEHANDLE)

These days I do good deal of work in Python. Python itself has been heavily Perlified over the years, especially Python3. Its fame seems to have come moving away from Pythonic principles, to Perlic principles. They add lots of features, even syntactic features, libraries and even things like typing. Python isn't the small, minimal core of ecosystem anymore.

Every single release of Python gives me the Perl feel from the old days.

So I kind of don't miss Perl at all, after all we managed to turn Python into Perl.

Long live Python, Long live Perl.
