I guess this is a big difference between perl and python. Perl gives you a powerful concise syntax and relies on you to either try quite hard to keep things sensible and readable or deal with the monstrosity you create. Python tries to coerce you into producing something more reasonable. Language preference might come down to whether you have to read/debug other people’s code which was not written in an empathetic manner. Years of dealing with horrendous buggy legacy C is probably why I’m currently so enthusiastic about rust right now.
