Is "drawback" really the word you were looking for?

I think Perl's biggest strength is CPAN, actually. That's what keeps me 
programming in Perl and not some other language. For almost anything 
that i don't feel like coding myself, there's a module to do it for me. 
And for the few modules i want to use that aren't available as a Debian 
package, CPAN makes it trivial to install them and keep them updated.
