I kind of miss Perl, and still write it sometimes. More often than not I end up with python, though, due to the built-in json parser. Everything is json or yaml these days.
As an avid scripter, I do hate it a bit that Perl is indeed the most viable environment for scripts that run fast and work in most Linux distros and in MacOS.

I still use perl every day. It’s more portable than Java, faster than Python (both to write and execution speed), and makes hard things easy.

But I will prefer Lua anyway.
