My main problem with Perl is references and contexts. Most of the experienced programmers I've worked with find themselves unable to write or debug code that requires the use of these Perl concepts.

For example, my co-workers and I find it easy and intuitive to work with lists in Python:

    xs = [5, 6]
    xs.append(7)
    print xs[2]                      # prints 7
    xs.append([])                    # easy to append lists to other lists
    xs[3].append(6)                  # easy to append to the inner list
    some_func(12, "hello", xs, True) # easy to pass to a function
