Alt Text: (For searchability): 3 part comic, drawn in a simple style. The first, leftmost panel has one character yelling at another: "@+_$^P&%!. The second comic has them continue yelling, with their hands in an exasperated position: "$#*@F% $$#!". In the third comic, the character who was previously yelling has their hands on their head in frustration, to which the previously silent character responds: "Sorry, I don't speak Perl".

Also relevant: 93% of paint splatters are valid perl programs

Ironically, the part of Perl that looks most cursing is the regular expressions, and that’s the feature that so many modern languages have borrowed from Perl directly.
