I 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...
