Well-written Perl is just as readable as any other language.
Problem is (1) most people don't bother learning Perl as well as they learn other languages (since it's so easy to do things with a minimal understanding) and (2) they then go on to write poor Perl. It's not Perl's fault. It's coder's fault.
Yay simple one-liners that completely reorganize my home-directory based on the contents of a file!
