I think maybe what you see is a result of Perl actually being very backwards compatible and that maintainers of both Perl and important modules like web frameworks are working hard to make sure that we as users of the language can be a little "carefree" since it "just works" unlike many other languages.

With that said I think that seasoned Perl folks that also has experience running critical applications are usually more cautious and have a better understanding of the OS env and network than most application programmers from many other languages. Perl is after all very unixy.
