It would have to be a more obscure, archaic language that's barely even spoken of on the internet.
I asked ChatGPT once about their proficiency in languages, both human and computer. They responded that they are most proficient in English and Python, largely because they are the most written/documented languages on the internet.
I forgot where it ranked other languages...I think it said it was pretty decent in Mandarin and most latin-derived tongues. I uninstalled the app so not about to go through my chats with it and try to find it.
However, ChatGPT is known to write in ways to appease the user, and I've almost exclusively spoken to it in English and asked it python questions.
I do wonder if somebody who primarily used ChatGPT in, say, French, and account history had a lot of C questions, if it would answer differently.
Perl is fine so long as you write code based on the assumption it will be maintained an idiot that doesn't know the code at all and needs hand holding. And that is why 6 months later I can understand the code I wrote.
My fave is when I asked Claude to help out and it reads my code and comments inline and then tells me âstupidmanager, im not sure what you were doing and your comments show you werenât sure eitherâ
Wish I got a screenshot.
Also, I almost as quickly fixed the issue after asking Claude and then asked for a review to which I told me I probably should hide the comments.
Not sure when Claude got snark installed, but itâs to a point where I have a rule prohibiting it.
I had an inverse experience after an adult beverage or two and talking to someone about a third party's script they found unsatisfactory. It went about like this:
Zak: filename.py sucks
Claude: What's wrong with it? Bugs? Code quality? Features?
Zak: yes
Claude rewrote it, claiming it had "multiple issues". It found and corrected a major bug, added error handling, and improved command line argument handling.

This should be a new challenge where you write code so bad that AI cannot even guess what it should do.

ChatGPT can't construct LSL (Linden Scripting Language that runs Second Life) code for shit in my experience. Maybe try that.

Is the idiot you?
Because I'm usually both the person writing it and the idiot trying to maintain it 6 months later.
Albeit not perl. Dammit Jim, I'm a Network engineer, not a programmer!

My experience has been the more I assume I am an idiot and plan accordingly, the less true it is in practice.

Chat GPT can work in perl. It has eaten the entire CPAN so had had a lot of examples

I can write text in a dead language that very few know how to read or speak.
ChatGPT has no problem responding to my text with random characters from that language.
When asked if it understood what I said: it made up fake translation and even translated the meaningless text it wrote earlier.
TLDR; At least ChatGPT will never say I can't understand your code

This must be the real reason AI is so divisive among developers.

Is this the chatbot equivalent of âyou spelled the word so wrong, even autocorrect canât help youâ?

You should use GPT 5. According to Sam Altman, it's like talking to a professional in the field.
