&gt; Perl was probably the first language I did interesting stuff in but I gradually moved on to other languages<p>Same here. But recently I had to convert a strange proprietary file format from a poll into CSV for a personal project of mine, and I decided to use Perl (5) just for nostalgia sake. I got a solution in minutes despite not having used Perl in years and I enjoyed programming on it, I&#x27;d say more than Python and sometimes bash which are my go-to scripting languages. Perl is the kind of language that you enjoy using for quick but effective hacks, maybe because it doesn&#x27;t get in your way. Definitely I&#x27;m going to use it more.
