Non programmers might perhaps not be able to open the file and read it, but then again even if they read it, they would be none the wiser when seeing the Perl-code as they are non-programmers.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
