P99 uses perl 10. When i started on takp, we used perl 12, which has since been removed. Lua is now scripting choice. Takp i build on VS 2017. But p99 never moved past 2010, so I need set up to build both. Its a fun combo.
My dev laptop is set up to code on either project. Keeping it working for all has been a challenge.

Ugh. Hopefully Perl has a decent version/environment manager like pyenv.
And yeah Lua seems to be the new "hot" choice for adding scripting to apps; I'm more partial to JS or Python for scripting, but to each their own.

Heh, I'm not one to start holy wars over languages, and Perl was like the second real programming language I learned (after Visual Basic), so I'll always appreciate it for what it is.
But ... c'mon: would you really rather maintain a mess of Perl scripts, or scripts written in a more ... sophisticated language (Python, JS, or heck even Ruby, which actually stole a lot from Perl)?
I mean, if so, great. It's just that Perl isn't exactly known for being
maintainable, so most coders I know would pick a different language if they had a choice.
