Re:Perl is a sick,twisted,perverse,dominatrix lang (Score 1)

Much like any other programmer, Perl can be difficult to read. However I had to maintain a couple of thousand lines of Perl code written by a couple of other people, and one of them commented well, and that made it much easier to read. So Perl being a read only language does in a large part depend on the person writing it, much like any other language.
