The main reason why Perl has a place in this list is that the language is so old and so inferior to python that no young or relatively experienced custom software developer would be working on codes written on Perl.

Another major problem with Perl was the fact that it wasn’t really good with anything. In fact, a report by Stack Overflow in 2017 revealed that Perl was the most disliked programming language based on the ratio of likes and dislikes on Stack Overflow developer stories.
