Well, here's my little bit of hatred ;) However I feel unfair to address
a programming language here, Perl or whatever, as everything depends on
software developers.

Given any existing programming language, a good programmer will develop
well designed good looking modular easy to understand scalable (add more
stuff here) code, and a bad one will give birth to something which makes
his successor who has to extend such a code wish the guy'd go back to
primary school again.

What's wrong in Perl? It lets one easely develope ugly code? OK, but
then any speaking language is bad too as it lets one say ugly sounding
distorted phrases. IMHO no tool is good or bad until you do something
with it, but then it's your responsibility, not the tool's.
