Here's how I'm documenting it. Corrections requested.
Properties are by Perl thingy. (scalar, array, hash, reference, blessed
reference?, file handle, etc)
That allows different things to be 'foo', for the appropriate definition of
'foo'.

Second thought:

Damian,
You mentioned in E2 that the chomped property relies on the insep
property of the filehandle (formerly $/). Can I extrapolate that
$.
$,
$\
$|
will also be properties on filehandles? (How about
$"
for arrays?)
Will they only be accessable as properties, or will there also be a proper
member/method of some class (or metaclass)?
The syntax (currently) is the same.
Come to think of it, are properties really anything more than a nicer
(IMHO), more Anglican replacement than traditional get_ and set_ methods?
Properties interract with (potentially dynamic attributes), while member
functions do the real work.....
