Perl is still as good an interpreted language as any of the others tbh.
Most of its "problems" are cosmetic, which is probably why Python ended up being its successor in many fields.
Given the choice between brutalist and Fisher-Price architecture, most people are going to opt for the latter even if everything's effectively the same inside.
