Oh, I use perl for quick'n dirty scripts, too. They tend to get extremely messy once they grow beyond "small" (say 100 lines or so).

I don't know python either, but I intend to learn: I like that it looks so much cleaner.

Besides, it bugs me that perl development has effectively stopped. Perl6 must be closely related to Duke Nukem Forever...
