I am quite sure that given random sample of python and perl
programmers, the python programmers would be faster. Less thinking is
necessarily, no $ chars and generally less punctuation to worry about,
no error handling needed (exceptions take care of it automatically).

I would also venture to guess that random (adult) Python programmers
would be of higher skill level as far as programming in general goes
(know more languages, have a "good taste"...).
