Pick any five mature packages out of the CPAN, and five tasks they let you do for the cost of a download and a skim of the manpage.
Now ask your Python friend about how long it would either be to (a) handcode that in Python, or (b) find some package in their joke-of-a-non-CPAN to do the same thing. "It's the code reuse, stupid." {grin} This gets it out of the actual coding, and into the culture. Perl culture kicks hiney. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker
