I like Perl, but I can see the argument for why it's not readable. People often mistakenly use sections of code with crazy looking regexes as an example...that's not really the issue though.
To me, it's a combination of two things:
- The culture that it's good to have many ways to do the same thing.
- The abundance of sigils on variables ($, %, @, etc), and how that gets unmanageable once you have complex data structures. Especially once you mix in references.
