Exactly my feelings. Usually when i bring this up on HN it's just a heavy downvote and i gave up with it.. I must really say that the most horrifying times in my current job over the last years have not been critical situations like server failures or the like but the countless hours i spent on debugging and "cleaning up" the perl scripts of other people. Since then i made clear that i don't touch those anymore, someone else can waste their time. Especially when you spent more on fixing some script then it would take you to rewrite it in python..
