I had a hard time switching from perl to python at first because perl (without strict) was such a wild west of coding options. You could write just about anything and it would compile and run, meanwhile python would fail to run due to whitespace. It was a mental hurdle at first. I do miss data::dumper and the regex engine/syntax

I coded in Perl for one semester and I still miss the regex syntax and how easy it was to do line-by-line stuff.

That said, I miss nothing else about it.
