I saw that the previous Perl thread is long dead, so I want to start a new one. I've been writing a solo (mostly text processing) project in Perl for a couple years now, and I loving love it.

I already know languages that can get me a job, but I chose to use Perl for myself. I like Perl because it's pretty likely I can run it on another machine without some dependency issue. Because it a glue language, there are not likely to be breaking changes in future versions. Another (optional) portion of my project is  PHP, for similar reasons--it usually just kind of works.I'm aiming for easy installation and low maintenance, so that's why I chose Perl. I also hate whitespace syntax, so Python was out until I figured out I can do commented braces.

That's exactly the kind of code I avoid writing.
