Are you able to elaborate on this a little more? I love Perl and in fact that was my favourite language for a long time (despite all of its warts). But languages like Go are a lot more explicit that Perl so I'm not really sure what you mean by "under the hood" and "code is staring you in the face.

I must admit that really annoyed me too but in fairness it's a pretty common pattern (eg brew, npm, etc). In a way Perl (CPAN) is an edge case rather than the norm. The difference is other systems add a shim around the code source even if they do still pull directly from (or from a cache populated directly from) Github et al
