When you start getting into nested references, Perl's syntax gets unnecessarily ugly.

I don't want to have to worry about whether it's a reference or not. And yes, sometimes that makes certain things easier when you make a distinction based on the context, but dammit, most of the time I really don't need that. :-P Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

I think that context is a horrible idea in Perl - (ben_tilly) - April 22, 2005, 11:18:48 AM EDT

I suspect many of my opinions are well known - (tuberculosis) - April 22, 2005, 11:32:23 AM EDT
