Semicolon (Score:2)

by bart (450)

Don't forget about the semicolon. You still need it, even after emulating the Perl syntax as close as possible. For example:

somefunction foo => sub { $bar++ };

There's no escaping it, except maybe via source filtering. (Did I just hear something heavy falling onto the floor?)

Yes, I admit it, I've been thinking along the same lines a long time ago.

  Ah, yes. I meant to include it.
  
  And no, no source filtering. (The axe that fell missed you by a few inches. Whew!)
