Perl versus other scripting language

Hi Perlers !
In my project we are using lot of scripts (for various job
launching
activities )some written in bash, some in perl.It's completely
chaos
and not organized.

Now we want to revamp the whole scripting framework using some
high level scripting languages like perl, python, ruby etc.

I wanted to use perl, but my other teammates wants to use either
python or ruby.They say perl is not readable and hence difficult

to maintain.
I am comfortable using perl but not sure about ruby and
python
what they offer.

Can somebody throw your opinion please ?

Alok.
