I was recently talking on the phone with a person who lives at least 2,200
miles away and whom I'd never met or spoken to before. This is a
surprisingly common occurrence in this day and age. I was explaining some
of the things that I like about Perl. When I got to the part about how I
love writing 4 or 5 lines of code where programmers of other languages have
to write 20 or 30, my new friend hinted that he thought I was talking about
completely unreadable Perl code.
