I have been using Perl for more than twenty years. I remember installing Perl 5 because somebody had written the network monitoring tool "SATAN" in it. I have written some nasty code with it, and some pretty clean code. Relying on CPAN, I have saved myself and others just huge amounts of time and trouble. These days I tend to use Python for new projects, because the young coders where I work are more accustomed to that. Now, if someone where to show up fresh out of school and sure that Perl 6 was the thing, I'd be open to trying that.
