Code! Yes. A programmer’s strength flows from code maintainability.
But beware of Perl. Terse syntax… more than one way to do it…
default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they.
Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once
you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny,
consume you it will.- Yoda [1]
