neversaint has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Most respected gurus,

I often bump up with a term "Clean" code.

Coming from a non Computer Science background. I wonder what does it mean?
Is there any definition for it?
Does it has different meaning for different programing languages, e.g. Perl Vs Python Vs C.?

Especially when Perl is often dubbed as "line noise", then how would one describe/defend the meaning of clean Perl Code to the nonbeliever.
