Perl isn't nearly as bad as Iverson's Language (aka APL).

``Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, Democracy attaches
all possible value to each man, while socialism makes each man a mere
agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but
one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks
equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.''
de Tocqueville == 1848
