   I'm using Perl for several years now. I know little Perl, but I think 
the point is about using the right language at the right place. You can 
write clean code in Perl (I do). And you don't have to use Schwartzian 
transform and all those ugly maps() almost never. I prefer to penalize 
performance against clean code.
   BTW: As my CGIs and web applications are growing in complexity, I've 
reached a point that I realized I'm not using the right language for 
such a big applications. So I'm moving to Java (ouch!) and I know I'll 
miss Perl for what it is good at: getting the job done before you get 
fired :)
