You're not wrong about Perl. I hate working with it but if you're looking for longevity it's near the top of the list for good choices.
There are some things that run you into trouble. When SSL versions change you might have to update that part of your stack. When things like the log4j vulnerability hit you have to update that sort of thing. If you are working with external systems sometimes they change interfaces and you're forced to update. If you're working with government compliance you no doubt have to change every 3 years for no good reason.
