> A: This is great! Perl is much maligned but a fantastic Swiss army chainsaw and still runs so much critical infrastructure. You know, I hear this a lot (especially earlier in my career) but I _never_ ran into any system made in perl, ever. I started my professional career in early ~2010 and have been programming since ~2005. Maybe they are just very black box-y and I don't even know that the underlying stack is perl?
