Definitely enjoy Perl to this day for how fast you can achieve things with it.

Most of my work goes through evolutions depending on eventual use. Many staying in the first phase.

Proof of concept/one shot work just needed by me: Perl

Needed by internal or external developers who know what they are doing: Python3 rewrite

Needs to be robust: Java/C/C++/Rust

The speed with which you can prototype by piecing together micro C programs mixed with Perl orchestrating them is really something that has benefited me throughout my career!
