Actually, I proposed some years ago allowing "separable verbs" --
function/method/operator names with spaces in them, that could in fact
bracket or intersperse themselves with other parameters.
This would be a way of writing "if ... elsif ... else ..." for example.
I wonder if whitespace in identifiers should be significant? Should $foo
bar be the same as $foo bar (2 spaces) ?

Relaxing the rules is fine, but I would like to state for the record
that I'd rather not ever see whitespace allowed in identifiers.
That's an Applescript feature that I could do without in Perl. (Not
that anyone was proposing such a thing, just getting my objection out
there preemptively. :))
