Why Perl is still relevant in 2022

Though I mess around in Javascript quite a bit, for me Perl is still my primary programming language. Yes, I know, it make my skills nearly obsolete (though if I really had to I could adapt to another language; none of it is really foreign to me) but I find Perl is ideally suited to what I want to do. I like the way it cleanly separates the processing and the presentation in HTML. It's object oriented when it's convenient, but it doesn't have to be, and it's very good with things like string search and manipulation. It doesn't have to be fast, just versatile.
