Perl is great for that occasional bash one liner or that one off script.
It’s awful for team projects. The core mantra of Perl is “there’s more than one way to do it”, meaning every piece of code can be written in hundreds of different ways. Result is that everybody write with different code styles, and no one can understand each other’s code.
So that rules out most practical use cases.
