One of the plusses I saw for perl was the depth and breadth of perl code out there in the world, which must, one can surmise, account for its usefulness. I'm just trying to pick from python/perl now that I know it can do most of what I want it to do. It sounds like perl might be a little more versatile still (from what I'm hearing) for both scripting on up through web apps?
