@dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems it is possible to write well-structured, well-tested, and legible Perl. It has trundled on for decades because it effortlessly handles use cases that would be bugbears for Python. For example:
ME: Uh I have a Perl script that was written for a very old version of Perl and I want to run it now
PERL 5.38.4: No problem boss you just tell me what version of Perl you want me to be
ME: using 5.8.1;
