  I guess that for people outside of Perl (like me), Perl is just a scripting language for times when you either want to write something for a golf competition or need to quickly script a box that doesn't have python or ruby on it.

  It's a language that everyone's heard of, and that everyone can write, but that noone wants to for various reasons. For me it's probably the perception that it's not current, and that its tendency to be terse may lead to writing the incomprehensible code that its known for.
