Very similar story here; I barely write any Perl nowadays but am still very fond of it.
I especially like the sigils - they serve in a way as a primitive type system and actually convey useful information when reading code. I suspect people who complain about them are the same who dislike strong typing.
Interestingly, like you, nowadays I am very fond of Scala.
