Brandon Lee says about Perl: "As Damian Conway says: "Line noise programs, numerous defaults, subtle context propagation, symbolic references, closures, unconstrained OO model, one-liners, weird modules maintained by weirder hackers, typeglobs, AUTOLOADING, operator overloading, source filters, etc., etc." Aargh! But, but, but ... when you start working with Perl, there is a generosity about the language that is unique. It is not verbose hackery but something like a corpulent (voluptuous?) hedonist that is living a little too comfortably. So don't eat just the bone or the meat, take the fat and the tendons and the liver and a little Perl." Amen. That's why I'm as much excited about Perl as I was ten years ago when I start using it.
