That's one of the explanation I hear too and I am sure strictness has
advantages.
Just as flexibility has.

The other explanation is that people programming in Python usually arrive there
with experience in programming while there are a lot of people writing Perl
who don't have any previous experience in programming.
They tend to copy-paste the first thing they find on the Internet which happens
to be either a Perl 4 tutorial or Matt's Script Archive.
That just perpetuates bad code.
