We could, but it regardless of the decision, it would be of little
practical effect unless it turns out people *really* care one way or
the other.  You know my opinion on the use of $_ as an implicit
iterator, but I would not use that as a primary criterion for
accepting or rejecting patches.

There are much bigger coding and stylistic problems to fix, including
lack of use of the warnings pragma, circular module dependencies
resulting in funky @EXPORT problems,  inconsistent indentation,
out-of-date, POD, low test suite coverage, and so on.  I would rather
that the style guide focus on the larger issues.

Regards,

Galen
