You're mostly right about perl but god I love it anyway. Unlike most
language it's actually different. You can (gasp) say "if condition
do_that" or "do_this if condition" just like in every human language and
almost no computer languages.
Have you looked at perl 6 yet? We may be able to say if $foo =3D=3D 1 or =
2,
just like people invariably do, rather than if ( $foo =3D=3D 1 or $foo =3D=
=3D 2).
Shock horror.
