How is this different from Python?
I install Python and most of the libraries I want are included,(batteries included).
I install Perl and most of the libraries I want are included, (batteries also included).
With Perl I've got CPAN available to install any libraries that I may be missing.
Python may have some advantages over Perl, but "alot of things needed to get the language to work for you" isn't one of them. In this respect I think Perl is heads and shoulders above Python.
