All software sucks. Some programs just suck more than others.

Judging by the use of English in some of your posts, Cop, I tend to suspect that it may not be your native language. There is no shame in that, but it may have left you unaware of this particular use of "even":
In EvanCarrol's post, he says he wants Perl to "suck even less". This construct indicates that he believes it to already suck very little, but wants to remove the small amount of suckiness that remains. It could also be taken to imply that he believes Perl already sucks less than any of the other alternatives. It is not a complaint about the quality of Perl, but rather an acknowledgement that, as good as it is, it's still not perfect.
