Yes well, my point is if you want to make a piece of code
incomprehensible, I don't think there is a language that will stop you.
I had a colleague who used to argue "that code was hard to write, it
should be hard to read too!" -- completely forgetting the poor sod that
had to come behind him and maintain his code.
It's a choice of the writer to write code that's hard to understand.
Perl is a very expressive language, and can be used to write very clean
and maintainable code.
I think the "there's no right way" mantra helps: it allows you the
latitude to choose the style that makes the most sense for the problem
being solved.
