straw poll: would you rather write and maintain 500 lines of Bash or 500 lines of Perl? Why?

I was in another subreddit and suggested that Perl, while not particularly sane, was generally considered to be saner than Bash. I got quite the push-back on that, which sort of surprised me.

Thoughts?

I mean, 500? Probably Perl. You can comprehensively screw yourself with Perl, for sure. But if you're writing something that needs 500 lines and you're doing it in Bash, you're gonna have some spaghetti.
