You're incorrect in your realization. The truth is that the older books for learning perl are simply shitty.

If you read Ovid's Beginning Perl, or chromatic's Modern Perl, you'll find they managed to explain the concepts very easily.

No, he's right. Perl is shitty. Have you ever read a random Perl script? It's impossible to interpret.
