Sir, those are fighting words. :-)

Y'know, if all I had was a english-to-french phrase book, I would find
wandering around France *very* difficult, I imagine.  In fact, most of
the lengthy signs and descriptions would not be "readable".  I might
even come to the conclusion that I could find *any* words in France
"readable", and wonder how come the people of France survived with
such an "unreadable" language.  I mean, they use mostly the same
alphabet, but all those *letters* seem to be out of place!

I'd probably have to actually spend some time reading and studying the
language before french was familiar to me, and in fact, after that I'd
probably find those same signs very "readable", and actually start to
understand and enjoy the people of france, and eating French Bread and
French Toast and French Fries and all the food of France.

I hope you see my point by analogy.  Perl code is imminently readable
to me.  I am fluent in Perl.  Appaarently, you are not.  So it is
*unreadable* to *you*.

If you need some help understanding Perl, I perhaps can recommend a
good book or two. :-)
