Legacy?

I hear about new Perl projects starting in large enterprises everyday!

Unless you are in the web programming domain(Somehow web developers think their's is the only software being written in the whole world) where your Python and Ruby frameworks seem to be famous. Perl is pretty big in the backend.

Perl is here to stay, and its simply too useful to be going away anytime soon.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...

I didn't get your point. I have found Perl(And many have) very useful for whatever we do.

So we continue to use it. Just because there is some new shiny stuff around, we don't use just for the sake for using it.

Trolling Perl to advocate Python hasn't helped for decades and won't help now either. A better debate will be to argue on technical merits. Trolling and whining gets people curious to verify if all that is true, thereby forcing them to read and some readers adopt it too.

To be fair I didn't think I was trolling but I can completely understand why you think I was. I could only talk about things I as knew them to be. Whether that makes me an ass or an idiot I don't care. I did want to hear a good argument as why I was wrong and again I appreciate your reply.

EDIT: My original comment was really just meant to be humorous I am sure know why since you are aware of Perl's syntax. It did make me a lot of money at a time but nevertheless I stand by what I said as that is the best advice I could give myself right now.
