This is exactly why perl is moving out of the big orgs (at least everyone I've worked at in the last 5 years, and I'm a contractor). Getting anything on a production system is a hastle. Using a language like python that just has most everything out of the box is much easier than something like perl where I need to make a hundred different requests to be able to do any big project.
EDIT: And your CD suggestion is a good way to get sacked.
- draegtun 16y agoI see and think the complete opposite on this (and I'm also a contractor). Like a lot of things in working life it depends on where you're coming from and where you are but I find Perl much easier to maintain across multiple servers because of CPAN (especially by using internal mirrors... for eg. minicpan) than with some other languages.
