Eric again. Though it is true that I'm not a big fan of Perl, I've also got nothing against it. Like everyone else, I'll joke occasionally about Perl (Perl: it's great because its got built-in obfuscation! Perl: it's the only language with the same information density as line noise!) but hey, if you guys find it floats your boats, more power to you.

What I'm confused about is the "good reasons" part. I don't _think_ I've ever written anything about perl that had any kind of reasoning in it. Cheap shots, like the above, yes. Reasoning, no. I'm just wondering what you're referring to.
