I was somewhat facetious. But what finished perl was the reputation it earned that it is a write only
language.  I don't think that reputation it earned is without merit.

IMO the early adopters of perl  were sysadmins and other non programmers who didn't do a stellar
job in writing a highly readable code.  To make it worse, perl folks take it as a badge of honor to
write their code in most obfuscated manner.  They even get some recognition for that.
