I've long thought if they had PHP-style inline HTML/Perl templates it would've given the language some legs. I'm pretty sure it exists (since I remember using it back in the day as a toy, just like JSP and other stacks), but it either came too late or didn't take off before PHP stole the throne.

I love Perl but I'm currently looking at around a decade of experience which is really hard to take into a new role. I'm working a bit on Wordpress now but PHP is basically close enough to Perl for me that it sits in a weird uncanny valley where I get things just wrong enough to cause headaches every time.
