"already suffering from a complex of coding in an unreadable language" hearsay and conjectureI was somewhat facetious. But what finished perl was the reputation it earned that it is a write only language. I don't think that reputation it earned is without merit. IMO the early adopters of perl were sysadmins and other non programmers who didn't do a stellar job in writing a highly readable code. To make it worse, perl folks take it as a badge of honor to write their code in most obfuscated manner. They even get some recognition for that.
No need for an Obfuscated Perl contest, because it's already obfuscated...
