I have to agree. Perl is terrible the way C++ is terrible: an accident waiting to happen at the hands of a moron. But in Perl's case it's more like begging than waiting, and the moron is probably a smartass in reality: see Acme.

It has some good languages in it. Hell, it has most languages in it. Perl 6 probably only needs a use Haskell; at the top to run Haskell sources.
