Generally speaking, the direct use of === is more for specialized purposes, somewhat like the direct use of =:= is. If one can't tell the difference between === and eqv, they most likely want snapshot semantics anyway, and so might as well forget === exists, and just use eqv everywhere.
For me === feels like it should be the operator with "easier" semantics, i.e. the operator which perl-newbies would first want to learn, so it feels like the semantics of === and eqv should be swapped. === is a lot nearer to what many other languages uses for they comparison than more cryptic eqv. Also, == does "simpler" comparison than eq, so I feel that === should also do "simpler" (to understand) comparison than eqv -- Markus Laire
