the same stuff happened long time ago with ruby. I mean, not exactly the same stuff, ruby was perl-inspired from the start.

Nowadays instead of `perl -lne` oneliners I usually make `ruby -lne` oneliners, just for a chance my coworkers could make sense of them.

let's celebrate perl at least for native support of utf-8 strings before it was cool.

Python was always deeply and extremely perl-inspired.

Each line of the Zen of Python is the negation of one of the Perl's architectural principles. And when your entire identity is denying something, you can't be anything but similar to that thing.
