That's a good point, but take a look at Perl itself: it doesn't force you
to be clear, but there are guidelines to make code more readable.

If I want to make something simple, make it simple! For instance:

  <? for ($min..$max) { ?>
     <OPTION> $_
  <? } ?>

I always try to teach while having things done. Learning a bit of Perl
will help the designers as much as learning "raw HTML" instead of using
just a WYSIWYG tool: they will be more productive.

See you,
