> Perl is most human-like programming language

This claim always seemed bizarre to me. What kind of drugs do you think a layman would think you were on if you showed them a typical Perl program and asserted how "human-like" it was? Even if you tried to follow-up and explain it: "No, no, see this bit means open whatever file stream is specified in the command line, as long as it starts with a letter between 'A' and 'F' that can be either upper or lower case, and is followed after any random characters by at least 3 digits in a row. Then this next character means.... See? It's just like I'm describing it to you!"

I remember the "Aha" moment on the face of a python-flavoured data scientist when I showed her my Perl scripts for managing LDAP groups.

One look at the class files (written in Moose) and she was stunned that she could immediately understand it, having never written Perl before.
