I've been using Perl for only about 1.5 years, and never touched

between Perl and Python. I'm not quite sure why I chose Perl. I know
that several open source projects allow Python plugins (Gimp,
InkScape) but Perl can be used for CGI stuff. (If Python also does
CGI, I never heard it.) So I chose Perl.
Any programming language that can write to standard output can do CGI.
Being that I was already familiar with C/C++, Perl was fairly simple
to pick up. I read a couple of tutorials and pretty quickly was using
perldoc as my main source of information. While Perl does have some
quirky stuff, overall I found it easy to learn and very capable of
doing a lot without a lot of coding effort.
After being "part" of the mailing list for a bit, I learnt not to
post without first checking perldoc/cpan, so that may as well be a
factor for the mailing list's lack of activity.
You have learned well grasshopper. :-)
