But... the example was all there was. This wasn't an article with a core point that simply picked a bad example. There's almost no text. If the code exhibited isn't good enough to make the point, then what point is there to be made?

I understood the point only because I have practical experience working with large amounts of Perl 5 code in every stage of the mentioned enlightenment. The example worked for me; it won't work for people without that experience.
