Perl code can be treacherously obfuscated, but that's part of the fun. As long as good code is well documented, there is no harm.
To quote something I read somewhere:
You have obviously never coded in any language, let alone Perl. Comments like these are usually from people with zero real life experience.
We say in Perl that it's "strangely consistent".
Because, god knows, if anything in Perl is consistent, it's strange.
Then there's the use of "Larry Wall" and "language designer" in the same sentence...
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. -- Doug Gwyn
