Quoted from Moveable Type - Features
"Editable object-oriented Perl source code
Movable Type's clean, well-documented source code is written in Perl, one of the most popular scripting languages, and hence completely customizable using a standard text editor."

What the hell are they thinking? When the words "popular scripting languages" comes to my mind, PERL only jumps out as something better than a fucking crayon. Because you know what, I could write a kick-as blog in crayon. And crayon is completely editable without even needing a text editor. Technically, feces is completely editable using a standard text editor, so I am not sure where this benefit comes in for an application feature.

This is PERL we are talking about, people! PERL! Sure, I may have coded PERL in another life, but that was years ago, before something amazinated like PHP existed. PERL has no amaziation to it. No zest, no fire, no pizzaz, no life...no nothing! It does not pop, POP, POP.

So, to be fair, Movable Type is a pretty good blogging tool. But not so great as to excuse the use of PERL as the basis and then trying to marketize PERL like it was a gift from God! The only gift that God would give of Perl is an excrementitious island. The Isle of PERL. Especially considering the utter sloth-like crap that PERL is now in comparison to other languages that exist...languages that are actually OOP, to be precise. But Movable Type's popularity does not forgive it for using PERL.

This is a if Noah were to build an Ark out of styrofoam held together with Yak feces. Sure it would float...probably...but there would be an odor. And scientific studies have proven Yak feces bonds with styrofoam at a moleculr level to produce the stench of rotting celebrity binging intestine.
