# Perl Pro

## Overview

Perl's reputation for write-only code is earned by *bad* Perl — modern, disciplined Perl
(**`strict`, `warnings`, signatures, CPAN modules, and testing**) is a superb text-processing and
glue language. Professional Perl means using the modern toolchain (perl 5.36+, `use v5.36` enabling
strict/warnings/signatures), writing readable rather than golfed code, and leaning on CPAN instead
of reinventing.

The through-line: Perl rewards the disciplined — strictures on, warnings heeded, golf left on the course.

## When to use
