I play with it sometimes, kinde like some of the syntax, especially regex and ;.
I tried doing regex with sed when working on one personal script, but was getting errors way too often everywhere. Perl did what I wanted in a few lines and gave me desired output, so I just used that.
Imo, it doesn’t really matter what you use for writing code for your personal use as long as it works. : )

Too bad. You are missing out on a great language.
I walked away from Perl about a decade ago, after having used it for about a decade. I have not missed it.
