So, whoever wrote this clearly did not read the right perl documentation, everything the author talks about is VERY well explained in the perl man pages which are pretty much a source of gold.
The argument that Python is better beacause it is apparently more readable is lame. To me, perl just feels a lot more expressive since I grew up "thinking" in perl.
Bashing a language because you didn't read the right documentation and/or couldn't find it is just wrong.
I agree that perl can be daunting to learn and that may make it more unmaintainable though, but if you haven't made the effort don't knock the language.
