There is more than one way to do it
There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI, usually pronounced "Tim Toady") is a Perl motto. The language was designed with this idea in mind, so that it "doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program". This makes it easy to write extremely messy programs, but, as proponents of this motto argue, it also makes it easy to write beautiful and concise ones.
