Python is about 16, and Perl about 20.  I don't think maturity is a concern
for either of those languages.  I would not describe either as a fad.

If someone decides to choose between Perl and Python, I suggest quering
programmers who have developed and maintained code in both languages.  It's
not a real hard choice :-)
