True. The Perl motto "There's more than one way to do it" is the understatement of the year. You can write a one-liner that does some amazing stuff. But nobody else will understand it. Nor will you, 5 minutes after you wrote it.
Of course, after all my time using Perl, moving to Python would be like moving from running naked your entire life to being forced to wear a 3x undersized Speedo swimsuit. A bit ... confining.
