>readable code in 1990's Perl - it's just very difficult, because those languages lend themselves very poorly to those things

Perl is not Forth. I know y'all know Perl because of Gold code contexts and oneliners, but look at some games written in Perl and tell me Perl is not readable.

Better, get the free books from Orelly:

The 4th version is updated enough.
