I agree that a lot of Perl bashing is thoughtless. And ideology when it comes to programming languages is just stupid.
I'm sure there are plenty of cases where Perl is the best tool for the job. I know it's very good for large quantities of string parsing, for one.
You seem to know a thing or three about Perl- do you have advice on other cases where it's the best tool to use? I think that might be the most effective form of countering the arguments you dislike, and it would be very practically useful too.
