Why perl is better than Python?
It isn't. Python is a brilliant language, ideal not only for beginners, but for experts and wizards as well. Perl on the other hand is a write once, impossible to read bag of line noise. Which is why Perl wussies so much like CPAN - they'll never have to read, much less understand the alien code. Python syntax is very easy to read and understand, so Python programmers never have the need to use the dogma "don't reinvent the wheel" as an excuse to go back and improve code once written. That's why Python programs (and programmers) get better over time, while Perl is just a swamp of stagnation.
