C'mon... You cannot be serius... The "there is more than one way to do
it" is the best thing in perl, as said in the perl5-porters list, the
best thing in perl is that it DOES magic.
I've programmed in many languages (including tcl) and perl is the
language that gets closer to the human-level. And this makes perl a
language for Really Fast Development, and the "mtowtdi" is what makes
perl usuful both for scripting and real software development (object
oriented included).

Have you ever heard about CPAN? Are you saying that there isn't useful
code in CPAN? If so, I really think you need to review your concepts.
