Perl can be written to be prettier than Python or uglier than anything else imaginable.
Even well-written Perl is noisier than Python.
my $txn = $store->getTxnGroup()->getTxn($txn_id);
txn = store.getTxnGroup().getTxn(txn_id)
Or:
my $ids = [ map { $_->{ id } } @$txns ];
ids = [i['id'] for i in txns]
I still love Perl, but can only think of one place where it's prettier than Python - that's quoting.
