What aspect strikes you as "messy"?
(Not arguing, just curious as to which of the many ways -- including
some not discussed on this list -- you might find less "messy"?)
I'll certainly grant that Perl can be cryptic to someone who has
not learned some of the notation, but (again) that's true of almost
EVERY notation, especially those that are highly compact.
