The last time I wrote production Perl code (2012) I stressed about keeping it readable, especially by anyone who would be learning Perl. The company was mostly C/C++ focused with maybe Python as a #3. I think Perl-isms can be foreign if you haven't seen them, so they should be avoided in any non-Perl focused company. Looking now (it's open source) there's two keywords I have forgotten. It's a Perl binding to a C library using an old version of Swig. There's lots of Perl or C helper code to smooth out the bumps. It also looks like it hasn't been updated (bummer).
