Perl is a write-only language because its main advantage "There is more than one way to do it".

It is the most flexible language, so there can be very many styles of programming in perl, and because of this it is much harder to create a big team of programmers in perl than in other languages. The members of a big team of perl programmers should be very good programmers because they need to understand many styles of writing the code, and this is harder, especially that there are much fewer perl programmers than the number of programmers in other languages like Java, C#, or PHP.

Someone said Perl is a "wrote-only language", what does this mean?
