I went through a perl phase a few years ago. At the time friend described
perl as a 'write only language'. I asked what he meant and he explained
that once it is written it is impossible for a human to read. I've more or
less come to agree with that assessment.

Please don't feed the troll by replying to this. Note where followups
are directed - she obviously intends to sabotage the Perl group by
flooding it with outraged flames from the denizens of the C++ and Java
groups.
