I think your comment is spot-on. A good Perl programmer can do wonders, but if you add just one average programmer to the team (without a very extensive training), he can write stupid things faster than the good programmer could fix, LOL. Then the codebase would be a mess, with things that kinda work but are conceptually wrong or weird for those who really know the language. And the good programmer could do anything in a less eccentric language anyway, so...
