The reason I use linux and perl (or sometimes bash) - it just works, I get the least number of surprises. Dependencies in perl are handled by my OS same as everything else, I don't need to maintain multiple package managers, I just bash out the script and move on I don't write software as an end goal, I write software to accomplish my end goal.
