I know what you mean I diuscovererd myself, that when I post code votes rather go down. However I thought that as the fault of my mentor who taught me C++ for years and whenever I then did the random quick script for him, got annoyed about too many functions without a determined semi-colon or curly braces in between to improve readability.
This has influenced my programming a lot and I even sometimes rather write a slower readable code than obfuscated lines, that do the job on command line input.
Some here would say that is no Perl programming, but my poor colleague, who has about half a year of half a day a week experience and basivcally learns Perl so there is some backup in the company in case I leave them, is more than thankful for that.
I just think this is the same for my own voting. I only vote if I really learn something from a reply or would not have known the answer myself. However I often lack time to read very obfuscated relies and only vote those that tell you the basics or are easily readable.

Cheers,
