I am actually starting to like perl for things like data-wrangling way more than using, say, something like bash. Kind of in a weird phase of learning this for professional work but it also pays off that its just included in most *nix operating systems anyways.

vote_no posted:The main advantage I find for perl and why I’m always reaching for it is that it’s installed on almost everything. If I have a system that has (or can have) ruby on it, why wouldn’t I use python or C++? Its definitely this. I still often find CPAN modules stuff to be obnoxious, but I am kind of a baby in terms of programming

Are there any babby-level tutorials/write-ups out there on using Carton to manage Perl dependencies?

I'm (slowly) doing Advent of Code this year with Perl and it has been a pretty nice exploration of different ways to do things, especially wrangling data quickly.

I write a lot, if not most, of my API scripts in Perl these days
