in thread What's Perl good at or better than Python.

I think you vastly underestimate Python.

The sheer number of new people who are learning Python vastly exceeds the number of new people who are learning Perl. The huge amount of code that is currently being written in Python will ensure its longevity. From what I can see, continuing Python 3.X releases show a vibrant language that is expanding with new features and capability.

I will confess to also being somewhat of a "Perl bigot" and I love Perl. However, Python is a "growing force" whether we "like" it or not!

There will be certain tasks that Perl is much better at than Python. There will also be a lot of tasks where the difference just doesn't matter.
