You can write Perl with good style ... it's just that there are several or even many equaly good styles. So everyone's code doesn't look the same. While Python basically forces you to one "true" style ... at least in some things. Freedom is nice, but comes at a price. In this particular case you can choose which do you like better. > Many guys learned perl and were confused for perl's context concept.

Sorry, I've been with Perl for so long that I can't remember not considering the concept natural. I actually miss it in other languages all the time. Especially with Perl, Python and even Ruby everyone should try all of them and choose the one that fits his/her brain. I have chosen.
