I'll second that. In my observation Python is very picky about the
four spaces of indent, while Perl seems to notice any amount of indent
(one space is often enough) even though the syntax[1] tells us we need
four spaces. To see what I mean, try adding a couple more spaces to
1-9 in your example and run it through both to see what you get.
