There's enough Perl code around. Including some that's been reported as
maintainable and well-maintained.
I haven't looked too deeply into it, but what I have seen from e.g.
Webmin looked quite clear and straightforward to me. (Real Programmers
can write Fortran code in any language - and they can write Pascal code
in any language...)
Perl code *can* resemble line noise. I don't like the language. I think
Larry and the Perl community have been getting some priorities very
wrong over time (and other things very right as well: take a look at the
regex redesign for Perl 6, for example - it's all shades of grey, not
black-and-white).
Regards,
Jo
