Oh I wasn't talking about Perl specifically but about languages in general. I agree that Perl projects tend to stay small enough to be quickly understood and refactored. In fact I don't remember seeing a Perl script more than a few thousands line long.
However, don't underestimate how hard it can be to understand your own Perl code when you've been away from it for 6 months :)

I'd rather people not repeat this tired old meme. :( Thank you! :) vvvv
