I agree. My initial contact with Perl was when everyone was basically saying Perl was CGI (obviously not, but it was a common misconception at one point). I found out about Perl one liners much later, I've always thought it's the complicated and hard to read one liners that cause a lot of the 'Perl is hard to read/understand' folly. Maybe we could do a bit on common one liners and short scripts. Then something like 'Perl can be easy to read' and the same examples with a touch of PBP to try and show people that Perl is (or can be) friendly and readable.
