Perl is like 10 languages smushed together.  To write it, you need only
learn one of the 10.   To read someone else's, you don't know what subset of
those 10 they've used until you get deep into the code.

IOW, it's a kitchen sink language - the kind, I believe, that my comparative
languages professor would have described as  "offensive".
