At times one has to compromise and use some language he doesn't like if there's a huge codebase behind it and he only has to write a little interoperation code to get what he wants done. The pure/right way would be to reimplement the whole thing in something better, but that would take months.

Agreed. Anyone sane will use whatever gets the job done with minimum hassle, unless you're doing it for fun/dicking around in which case you should use whatever maximises fun. Actually, fun should probably be taken into account in other cases, just not as the dominant factor.

I enjoy my toy perl language. In fact, i've converted some Java, VB and C# programmers, and now they are fans too of the Perl Programming Language/CPAN and it's awesome powah for getting the job done quickly.

Bravo, sir, and well played. Perls before swine and all that...
