Friends dont let friends write perl. Source: The legendary "Perl Jam" talk from the chaos communication congress. * ▶ this video * link Also I find the "ubiquity" argument very side loped. What I could agree with is "small/self-contained install" (e.g. small single executable available for many platforms). But not sure how well perl fares there.
Bit of offtopic: Best bash of a programming language „The Perl Jam: Exploiting a 20 Year-old Vulnerability“ ▶ this video And part 2 „The Perl Jam 2 The Camel Strikes Back“ link
If you loved that video, try this great Perl presentation from Netanel Rubin: ▶ this video And it's follow-up cousin "The Camel Strikes Back" link (He says wat alot and it's hilarious)
