I love what you've written here. When you talk about the assignment operators, it reminds me of one operator I love, but don't mention often.
Basically, that's a handy shortcut for rewriting a string on the fly, but only if it has a true value. Otherwise, you have to do something like this in other languages:
It's a silly thing, I know, but there are so many useful constructs like this in Perl that once you get to know them, it can really reduce verbosity and increase comprehension as a result.
