We can program in any language, but choosing to program in perl has many reasons, first thing that comes to my mind is it's developers favourite, as it is fast and quick.

Yet I would try to quote few of them,

1. When we want to build applications having little hardware resources.
(Laptop/Desktop would do a great job as servers with some database).
(I am not putting in detail about that here).

2. When we want to build some cool and smart application without putting a penny from the pocket (as there is always open source to help us with free stuff).

3. When an application is required to generate reports.

4. When there is need for lots of text processing.

5. When a programmer wants to build and test his logic at a very fast pase. Just type and run. Quick isn't it.so on and forth.
