In my experience Perl is a write-only language. Coming in behind someone else and fixing or writing their code is often slower than just rewriting it

Perl is partially readable, provided that it’s your own code. The one thing perl coders hate the most, is other people’s code.

Perl is definitely a WORN language.

Write Once, Read Never
