I'm personally of the opinion that if a piece of syntax appears in  
Perl, that's an excellent indication it should be avoided like the

Why does everyone always suggest features from that aborted  
abomination of a language, rather than ones from SPARK, Z, or other  
languages with a bit of class and back bone?
