No, just someone that's had enough real world experience that I know
it to be true. There's nothing inherently wrong with the language, but
as the saying goes, "hell is other peoples' perl". As soon as it
ceases to be a single developer project, maintenance nightmares
follow. I appreciate it's only anecdotal evidence, but it's been true
in 100% of perl projects to which I've had personal exposure, and
there is plenty of supporting evidence to show that I'm not a
statistical outlier there, either. YMMV.
