It seems that brevity and obfuscation in perl code are inseparable
Further to shmem's insightful observation that obfuscation and abbreviation are different concepts, I feel obliged to point out that composing works of deliberate obfuscation in programming languages is a legitimate art form that long precedes Perl.
claiming code is "readable" on a website that has a section devoted to "Obfuscation" is not a good look How about a section devoted to "Poetry"? ;) To me, it's a great look. The Perl culture of having fun is what attracted me to Perl in the first place - a refreshing oasis in the dreary corporate IBM/Microsoft desert that surrounded me twenty years ago. Crafting compact, readable and well-documented production code for customers is a completely separate activity to the artistic recreation of composing Perl obfus and poetry. Please take a look at: and let us know if you've changed your mind. See Also
