Well, yeah. I guess if you wrote some some big program in perl, that would certainly be a problem, but perl is a scripting language. I argue that its not intended for writing big complex programs, but rather for getting a big bang for your buck. Just a few minutes of writing a perl script can give you tremendious power for solving simple tasks like merging databases, sorting & compiling MP3 lists, integrating AIM with IRC, etc. Don't hate perl for being good at what its intended for.

Perl is definitely king of the one-liners. Sort of like Henny Youngman. "Take my $_, please!" I've only recently started fiddling with the one-liner stuff, and it rules.
