in reply to What makes good Perl code?

In my opinion, it depends on some "things":

  1. Is someone going to read or edit the code besides you?
  2. Do you need some advanced Perl features that "dumb code" doesn't offer?

If you said yes to both of these, "dumb code" is not for you. But even if you did say no to some of the questions, I still do not recommend "dumb code" unless the program is extremely simple
