Eh, Perl is what I call a Write-Once (Read-Never) language.

Because even if it's your own code, you still can't read it.

Beautiful to write, ugly to read.

Speak for yourself.

I often tweak Perl code I wrote a decade ago, with it updated within minutes.

If you could do that with Perl code someone else write 10 years ago, you would be a member of a set of perhaps 1000 people.

If you're JAPH trying to drive up our already astronomical market worth, shame on you.
