It's sad that Perl is dying a slow death. Between Python and Perl, both styles of coding are possible.

While Python is my preferred language for most tasks, I still use perl as an ad hoc stream processor with `perl -pe` and nothing really beats it at the task. Anything more than 10 lines and I find python easier to deal with (or at least it's my comfort zone).
