Because Perl is unusable without days of work, and unlike the awk examples
I've found, impossible for someone not experienced in perl to make heads nor
tales of because apparently, if you properly comment perl, you get stabbed
in the eye or something, because I've yet to see properly commented perl.
Python at least has a syntactical structure that's no based on obfuscation.
