I dispute that.

I have worked with many languages, and Perl has always been one of the hardest to remember due to non-standard symbol abuse and a few strange semantics.

There is a reason it has that reputation.

Even writing it isn’t easy. I can describe the Python syntax after years of not using it. Perl? No way I remember it.
