IMO, it's not just that.  The problem I see is that there are too many
ways to do things in perl.  Different people use different subsets of
the language, meaning that to maintain any arbitrary perl code, you
need to grok *everything* the language has to offer, which is a very
large amount.  C++ suffers from this as well IMO, although there is a
bit less to learn.
