* Perl suffers the same problem as TCL, sh and (non-visual) BasicWell .... I've seen horrible code written in C too - I wouldn't think that a _language_ can enforce structured code - that is up to the programmer...
in that it is hard write a program over 25 lines that does not
descend into a pile of spaghetti. Other languages — such as
Moduala-2, C, Smalltalk and Python — force you to write
structured code that is easy to read and maintain. The good
ones, like Samlltalk and Python, do it in such a way you do not
even know you are being encouraged to write good code.
500 lines of badly commented C is as bad as 500 lines of badly commented Perl ;-)
