perl-mode is the default, so you can expect many people to use it.
Also, I stick to perl-mode (for the few times I use Perl) because it is
the default (dog-fooding and things like that).
Also the perl-mode was more amenable to experimentation (I used it as
a play ground for the fancier syntactic fontification, e.g. it was
a large part of the motivation for font-lock-syntactic-face-function).
