@sxa yum perl pie. I uesd to do that a lot :-) The starting point of my modern perl scripts is invariably the core loop that -pie provides (while(<>) {...)
@sxa @kittylyst for me, and it could be that my experience is not more widely representative: I generally find Perl programs to be self-contained, and Python ones to have a dependency hell to navigate. That really impacts their readability and maintainability. Oh, and a Perl script written 20 years ago generally works today; the same can not be said for Python.
