Perl can be a very fun language. It gives you the ability to do so much that you can write some really cool code that other languages would never allow. That being said, the fact that Perl does that is also why it is the most hated language. I enjoyed it for a little while but I got really sick of it as I wrote more complex scripts.
...Perl always gives you enough rope to hang yourself with if you ask for it
You can make some really cool knots with that rope but you could end up with that knot around your own neck.
And sometimes you don't know that the rope is around your neck as this person stated
Perl idea of freedom is to give you enough rope to hang yourself, if you are tempted to. But sometimes I got paranoid feeling that there is enough rope around my neck, and I cannot feel it ... yet, but rope is still there. Sometimes I am making decisions without fully understanding the price I just agreed to pay.
Perl might be good for short scripts, but it does get worse as you go on to make larger projects. I haven't used it in a while (I only wanted to try it out), but it does seem to give you a lot of rope.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Just to highlight my point, in Perl's own documentation it says
