True, but some languages positively revel in obfuscation, a sort of
"encryption by plain text" :-)) I'd put Perl in with that lot (but well
behind Forth...)
That said, out of our limited available/allowed languages, Perl is
probably the obvious choice for implementing our CGI (or whatever...)
scripts, and for dynamic generation of web pages. At least on the
submissions side of things: I hold strong opinions when it comes to
classifiers/search engines ;-)
One thing I don't think we should be using Perl for, is organising the
internals of the submitted entries. Perl isn't an efficient tool for
"database" implementations, dbm files or no dbm files...
