Python vs. Perl

My dad's electrical engineering friends are bring up the old debate again, and some are trying to back up perl.

I need some good ammunition against Perl, courtesy of /prog/. Most likely something to poke fun at regex.

http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html is always a good place to start a balanced discussion about Perl's readability and maintainability.
