Here's an example, coming from one of the major anti-Perl zealots
around here: Apache modules. Yes, now that we have mod_snake, you
can do these things in Python, in theory: but mod_snake is still
young, while mod_perl is quite mature.

Let me assure you that I miss Python's elegance and clarity sorely,
so I hope mod_snake will mature quickly <wink>

(BTW: Are there plans for quixote/mod_snake integration? That'd
be ultra-cool: one of the benefits of HTML::Mason is that it
integrates really well with mod_perl)
