Duh, Python has nearly as much as Perl maybe :) Introducing Lisp as a
substitute for comparison is a neat idea but is still cheating!
CPAN is still the original and best. https://perldoc.perl.org/ is
pretty good. There are thousands (?) of books and lots of works, many
of them modules on CPAN. Then there's https://www.perlmonks.org/ or
just look at https://perlhacks.com/articles/rtfm/perl-websites/ for
many more.
