I agree. I’m an older programmer (almost 61) and I’ve been using Perl for a long time - maybe 20 or 25 years. I reach for it when a job feels like a bit too much for a bash (1) script. I don’t go out of my way to teach or suggest Perl to my younger colleagues. I don’t know why that is. They don’t usually reach for Python, which I think would probably be their best choice. Maybe I’m just a curmudgeon ... and by the way, can you please stay off my lawn? :)
