Thats funny. I could say the same thing about the perl scripts I write. For that matter I could say the same thing The point is language and syntax for some of us at least has little bearing on how clear the code is. And like jrockway said perl is expressive enough that you can do far more abstraction in it. The only languages I've seen so far that can beat perl for expressive power are lisp and haskell.
