Perl, when exposed to programmers who read absolutely minimal docs and mostly work by cargo-culting, is particularly amenable to having those programmers turn out unreadable crap. That's certainly true. Yet it's also true that a lot of that unreadable, unmaintainable code gets stuff done. The barrier to entry is exceedingly low, while the barrier to maintainable code is about as high as for any language.
