From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Perl is a pain to work with
Python is a lot less pain
Even after using CPAN ? I found Perl to be much more "manageable" than Python.
Python with Venv and Pip at least works as expected. Which makes it easier.
Python has a clean syntax and is popular. I can't say the same for Perl. Also I'm not sure if Perl is cross platform.
