I'm not sure how "use it for what it's good for" has anything to do with toes. 

I've written lots of both Python and Perl and sometimes, for one-off's, Perl is quicker; if you know it.  

I sure don't want to maintain Perl applications though; even ones I've written.

When all you have is a nail file, everything looks like a toe; that doesn't mean you want to have to maintain it.  Or something.
