"elegantly" - def: pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner

I certainly find most of the Perl I write to be pleasing and stylish!

"troll" - def: a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community

Considering your account was created just seconds before you left your comment then i can claim at least this to be true :)

Why not? It's a matter of taste.

It truly is a matter of taste. The fact that you write something one way in Perl and a different way in Ruby mostly boils down to preference.

Metaprogramming in Perl? True metaprogramming?

Metaprogramming in Perl? True metaprogramming?

Yep. While it is generally easier todo in Ruby I find that you often hit limitations sooner than with Perl.
