Honestly, it's much easier to write bad Perl than bad Python. I'm a structure fanatic: my C, Python and Lua is structured as all hell. But I can't make my Perl look neat or structured no matter how hard I try: it disintegrates into a mess regardless.

And I am not the only person this is true of. Perl is a very messy language.
