sed and Perl scripts are very often extremely hard to decipher.

I've used both extensively a long time ago when my workstation had a Sun Microsystems logo on it (yeah I am that old) and I remember having problems to read my own scripts a few months later.

I don't miss those.

Words are the better sigils.
