I hate it less than I used to, but it is still definitely not my
favorite. I like it much more than sh though (both Bourne sh, and
modern versions such as Zsh and Bash).

Honestly, I didn't even mention Python because I think it is too
strong a required as opposed to Perl. But if Python is accepted, I'd
be happy to learn it and use it for Autoconf.
I don't know if Guile is a serious candidate.
But really, let's bury sh.
So? Let's give a try to Python? Move to Perl 5.5? Other?
