There's usually a balance between readability and efficiency.  Not 
always, but usually.  The bottom line is, you need to look ahead, 
knowing that the code you produce will be supportable.  Efficiency 
without supportability is useless.

Personally, any language can be written to be readable, and/or 
obsfucate.  If you have code that's complex, you comment it appropriately.

Perl is no more or less readable or maintainable then any other language 
when properly written (that includes commented).
