Two great talks when it comes to the questionable greatness of Perl: https://media.ccc.de/v/31c3_-_6243_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201412292200_-_the_perl_jam_exploiting_

  These are really not great talks at all. The speaker doesn't seem to actually know much about Perl, and it seems like the flaws he's found have little to do with Perl, and more to do with just writing insecure code. See http://blogs.perl.org/users/joel_berger/2015/12/response-to-the-perl-jam-2.html http://blogs.perl.org/users/joel_berger/2015/12/response-to-... for one response and some discussion in the comments.
