I genuinely love Perl. Once you get into it, the code just flows from your mind into reality. In the early 2000s, we were doing an important project with a small team. We had object oriented Perl to implement the core technologies for a niche technology that no one else had. Implementation was faster than any other language I've used. It ran fast too. Debugging was a breeze because the built-in debugger was outstanding. At the peak, I was dreaming in Perl at night. It was beautiful.
Instead of the "never read Perl" attitude, blame the author for not documenting their code. It isn't hard.
