durian
n 1: tree of southeastern Asia having edible oval fruit with a
hard spiny rind [syn: {durion}, {durian tree}, {Durio
zibethinus}]
2: huge fruit native to southeastern Asia `smelling like Hell
and tasting like Heaven'; seeds are roasted and eaten like
nuts
I think that's rather descriptive of Perl in general. Its huge, hard
on the outside, soft on the inside, smells really nasty but if you're
brave enough (or dumb enough) to take a bite it tastes wonderful.
