Perl is complex, and that complexity can make it a difficult language to learn. ............ But it's well worth the effort because, in the end, you have the advantage of a richer, more powerful language

It reminds me of English. The big problem foreign students have in learning it, is that many words have multiple meanings, which we determine dynamically by the context in which they are used. Someone born and raised speaking english, takes it as second nature, but coming from a different culture... its a mind blower.
