For starters Perl is a dynamic language, where as Rust is a statically typed language. If Rust is throwing errors at you then its because your program has a bug, i.e. on some level it just wont work.
Furthermore syntax wise Rust is actually extremely conservative, i.e. as much as it could it basically copied C++ (which is what my complaint is) where as Perl's syntax, especially for its time is quite progressive.
The two languages are as far apart as you can get on many levels and I feel this is just bitching because the person isn't familiar with Rust.
