Couldn't we go the python way and assume that  <..> is implicit in 
"for" statments:

$fh = open(..);
for $fh {             # instead of for <$fh>
        print $_;
}

For explicit iteration, we could well do just with a ".next" method:

while ($line = $fh.next) {
        print $line;
}

And the old perl construct:

while (<>) {
        print $_
};

Could be replaced with a open() without arguments, such as:

for open() {
        print $_;
}

And then <..> could go back to being a gentler replacement of qw<..>.

Or is there any problem that my blind eyes can't see?
