I wanted to ask why is Perl, in comparison to other programming

Undoubtedly, when it was written, Perl was the most powerful text
processing language available. This is no longer the case (thanks
largely to Perl :). Today's scripting languages have the same text
processing abilities as Perl. You will find this true of Perl's
documentation; some of it has not been updated in quite some time.
I agree.
No language is absolute more advanced than others in today.
See this speed comparison of script languages:
