And you find Perl's syntax is closer to C family than Python's?

Absolutely.

If so, that is a decidedly minority opinion.

Really? I've never seen Python listed in a C language family list, like
these on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_C-family_programming_languages

Is it that you really just miss block-delimiting braces? And maybe
semicolons after every statement?

Yes. Even though I indent my code, I don't like using whitespace to delimit
code blocks. Also with long statements, I like the freedom to split a
statement across multiple lines, and further indent the additional lines of
such a statement for clarity.
