Perl looks ugly to novices?

I thought the whole point of Perl was that there were so many ways to code something, there's always a way to make the code look elegant.
From Larry Wall:
Perl is designed to give you several ways to do anything, so consider picking the most readable one.
This contrasts languages like Ruby which basically encourage/force you  to do things a specific way.

Just read this quote
I have a pretty major problem with a language where one of the most common variables has the name $_
Except you never have to use $_ in the first place. It's always a choice

In conclusion, people who don't like Perl don't know how to use it.

When women make up the totalarity programmers in the field, then it would be apt to use ``she''.

It's like you guys don't know feminism has always been nothing but civilizational subversion at the hands of kike spindoctoring.
