By the way I know for a fact that on their big deployment contracts Cisco does not use their own products to manage their switches. They actually use Perl scripts.

If you do an online transaction - somewhere between you and your bank,
you hit a perl script.
It's been said that the next financial crisis will be triggered by a
perl bug.
Even more seriously, stuff that absolutely must work, all the time,
every time and for more than a year at a time is written in perl.
Billion of dollars a month get moved around with perl scripts - and that
won't change anytime soon...
