in reply to How do I train myself to write more Perl-ish Perl, rather than C-ish Perl?

Two things:
  1. What's wrong with gushy?
  2. It may well be that the ability to write Cish or Rubyish or Lispish code is not only a feature but possibly an important one at that. If language conditions thought and if that applies to programming then your vocabulary of solution expression is increased by the ability to code otherish as it were.
