'No Perl programmer would write a few lines of code, post it to a blog, and call it a "library". Everyone feels obligated to create a CPAN distribution, with documentation.'
The emphasis on the importance of libraries struck a chord with me. (Don't worry, I still think Perl is an ugly language.)

"No language is perfect. No language you build yourself will be perfect, unless you have infinite time to write all the libraries that the non-perfect language already had. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs, tradeoffs. That's what engineering is."
