There's enough Perl code around. Including some that's been reported as maintainable and well-maintained. I haven't looked too deeply into it, but what I have seen from e.g. Webmin looked quite clear and straightforward to me. (Real Programmers can write Fortran code in any language - and they can write Pascal code in any language...) Perl code *can* resemble line noise. I don't like the language. I think Larry and the Perl community have been getting some priorities very wrong over time (and other things very right as well: take a look at the regex redesign for Perl 6, for example - it's all shades of grey, not black-and-white).
