Did I say I expect Perl to do the right thing? :-)

I don't like the coloured output from ls (Score:2)
My standard profile turns off the coloured highlighting from ls because I find the colours to be either distractingly jarring or simply unreadable.
My preference is to turn on -F by default, so that I get the same information in a less disruptive way (directories have a trailing /, symlinks an @, and sockets an =).
If you're going to stick with the blinking, you'll want to avoid looking in directories where someone has used a cool symlink hack [perlmonks.org] :-)
