Amen. I don't find Perl difficult to read at all, except for the cases
where it is purposely obfuscated.
I'll ditto that one.
I've got a question for all the perl-bashers out there ... the piece of
perl code that I use most on my machine is frozen-bubble. When I look
through the frozen-bubble code it is instantly readable. Perhaps could one
of you take a look through the frozen-bubble source code and point out to
me a few examples of really unreadable or hard-to-follow code that would
be much more elegant in your Language of Choice[tm]? That might help me
understand a little better what specifically you don't like about the
language.
Thanks,

p.s. if you don't have frozen-bubble on your machine, here's a patched
version that's similar enough I think to the original code for our
purposes:
