Perl and Lua are able to be used at the same time and can even talk to each other via signals/timers.
It can only load one per type and will prefer lua to perl quests though. Eg: if you had fippy_darkpaw.pl and fippy_darkpaw.lua then fippy_darkpaw001 on event_spawn would load fippy_darkpaw.lua.
The idea is perl is becoming more and more difficult to support (just take a look at the issues getting it to run on windows for any modern version). So we needed a viable replacement in the long run but at the same time there are thousands of perl quests so it needs to run alongside because those wont get rewritten overnight (or ever maybe for some people).
