I only read your quotes and have not followed the links. I think one of the reasons Python and Ruby got a boost is that they did not yet have CPAN. So newcommers could reinvent their own wheels. I think this is part of the same reason why there are many implementation to almost everything on CPAN. OTOH I think everything is an API or abstraction. print() of perl is an abstraction of some lower level thing. so is DBI->connect and so are the mehods of WebService::GData::YouTube I think using WebService::GData::YouTube to create something useful is as interesting as using print() or split() though I admit I was more excited when I was writing in Assembly on ZX Spectrum. But probably that was becasue I was 16 and the whole thing was new to me.
