If software works ok, it does not matter much in what language it is 
written.
Personally I would rather pick python than perl, but if the question is 
python or perl, then the real answer is:

  Ruby.

;-)

PS: One reason why Linux kernel folks like Linus use Perl is because 
they can not write Ruby or Python code. Harsh statement? Maybe. But I 
found it true for many old C hackers. Especially for Ruby. Some of them 
know and write python code, but I dont know any of these methusalems 
that uses Ruby. :-)
