Well, there is the obfuscated Perl contest, but that's intentional. :)
If you make use of 'use English;', the two character system
variables can be replaced with readable names, though it
involves a lot more typing.
I don't see how it's any less readable than C. I really don't
know how to compare it's readability issues to other scripting
languages, ( Python, Ruby, etc.) cuz I don't know how to use them.

DOH!!!! Ouch...(limping along)...come on now. Perl has won "awards" for
it's "readability" and "maintainability". I'm not slamming Perl, it has
saved my behind on W2K platforms, which has no real scripting language.
And
I did advance order a copy of your book. Not that I want to be a
Duhveloper...

Of course, you can say this about any programming or scripting language.
It all depends on the ability of the programmer.

On the other hand, you could write the entire Windows XP operating system
in
one line of Perl...including Internet Explorer.

Without a doubt - perl - get it free from www.activestate.com. Why use it?
Well, it is so flexible compared to other NT/DOS scripting tools you'll
wonder why you never had it before! It's also portable meaning all those
scripts you write should work on multi platforms with just a little tweak!
