There's a spirograph guy in the corner, the only one left that knows perl, lurking out and trying to entice people with its merits.

Long ago I worked primarily in perl and ... yeesh, I recognize maybe 30% of it when looking, and that's the directly-c-adjacent stuff.

To be fair if I walked away from Rust for a year I'd probably be similarly lost.

I still will reach for Perl for the occasional quick one-of text-processing application, but I do spend a lot of time in perldoc when I do.
