Why use Python when we've got Perl?

The CPAN repository for modules is a win for Perl.  But I also wouldn't
underestimate some of Perl's other nice features like perldoc and MakeMaker.

I must admit I do use both languages (although I am only learning Python),
and I find that when I use Perl it is too easy to fall into bad habits,
and I tend to spend a lengthy session refactoring my Perl programs after 
writing them.
