Could you develope artificial intelligence in perl or would 4 things make python choice?

it depend on what language your more preficient in but yes you can make AI in any language something like this though personally i think C++ would be the way to go but this involves a big learning curve and i already know c++ . try looking at example codes on google to see if this helps you make the choice also if you are only just starting out in python / perl you have quite a way to go before you can really do AI hope this helps you.
