In my opinion, Perl allows you to focus on the problems you want to solve without having to worry as much about the computer.

Some simple comparative examples include no need to allocated memory as you do in C and no strong typing in Perl.

For example, in Perl to make a string you just declare it. 

my $string = "This is my string";

Notice that I didn't have to allocate any memory for the variable either.

There are probably many other comparisons but the basic summation in my opinion is that Perl will allow you to focus more on your problems once you get over the initial learning curve and less on the particulars of dealing with memory management and strong typing.
