people seem to want to pry into more personal details

Not really. Jenda wasn't asking for a biography and your eyes glazed over the important part of their comment: You do not need Raku, you need a beginner's programming book or a decent beginner's course.

Raku appears to be that solution.

How have you found a solution when you aren't even seeing what the problem is?

For what it is worth, "taint" was so quintessential to good code that Raku has dropped it completely.

No one mentioned taint but taint has a purpose. As does strict. You not understanding the role taint plays, why strict isn't on by default, or when you'd use either of them hardly takes the shine off them. Perl's feature-set is still not the problem and hardly the topic at hand.

named variables I think it should be easier.

Perl can do that but named variables is just treating a symptom. The glut of incoming data is a symptom. Non-technical code that confuses the original dev while it's still being designed and written is a symptom. That beginner's course Jenda mentioned would introduce you to basic design principals which you are overlooking or unaware of which is allowing you to write poorly organized, write-only style code. Like I've said, if you're too hasty, you'll just take these same bad decisions into your rewrite. Software design is more than just syntax and getting it to spit out what you expect.

Nor is it related to my IQ--which is high. It is simply a disability.

There it is again... haughtiness passed off as humility. No one is questioning your intelligence. Well..., not being able to accept correction or proper guidance would play into emotional intelligence but we're not here to diagnose. You do not need to be exceptionally bright to write software. You don't even need to be especially smart to write very good code. You're bad at software design right now but that doesn't mean you're a moron or incapable of improving because it's a skill not a talent. You develop it with experience and listening to people who have experience.

We're offering our experience here and you're not just ignoring it, you decided to be offended by it. That's kinda frustrating.
