Perl was my primary language for eight years and I can't genuinely think of a good example. Even in situations where there are fantastic packages for certain tasks, like with Mojolicious for WebSockets, you can do the same in Node, Go, Ruby, Python, or pretty much anything else now, so it ultimately comes down to preferring the language in most cases.
