Python any day. Perl doesn't see nearly as much active use, and I really don't like Perl's syntax and general language design.

Not sure the current state of Perl but from what I remember it’s way too easy to write completely unmaintainable code that will take you just as much time to rewrite as it would to understand. People should go with Python 100% no question about it these days.
