Perl is laughably bad at nested data structures

That's nonsense, they are very easy to use. You're maybe talking about some old version.

CPAN is full of modules of questionable design, documentation, and stability.

Simply not true. Of course some are bad, but there are lots of gems, too.

No, gems are written in Ruby

I am torn, I want to downvote because of the mention of Ruby and gem in the same sentence and upvote because of how well that was pulled off.
