[http://nerds-central.blogspot.com/2011/03/perl-still-dominates-over-python-ruby.html|Nerds Central] says "Perl Still Dominates Over Python, Ruby or even PHP".</p> <p>Another metric is performance. [http://onlyjob.blogspot.com/2011/03/perl5-python-ruby-php-c-c-lua-tcl.html|Here is a benchmark/comparison] of Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, C, C++, Lua, tcl, javascript and Java.</p> <p>Obviously opinions here will favor Perl.
