People like that the cryptic Perl syntax be ambiguous and guess what you mean from context, because it allows rapid development of small programs, and Perl usually guesses right what you want it to do.

One might be a terrible Perl programmer, but do realize there are programmers and then there are enterprise programmers. A seasoned Java veteran probably has problems writing Perl but that makes him no lesser expert. Interfaces, abstractions and design patters are what he does, and let us treat him with the respect he deserves.
