I am a long-time Perl user and also a long-time Git user. Git is worse than Perl. Perl is just opinionated: despite what you are saying about it is true, you can write working programs and have fun at all levels of Perl mastery. There's a lot to memorize, but you can start coding immediately and do something useful. Also, Perl community is incredibly friendly and helpful. Not so with Git. If you start without thorough understanding how Git internals work, you will get burned really soon. And more often than not, the only response you'll get is the arrogant RTFM or the link to Pro Git book.
