Im no perl expert, but it says on the wikipedia page a common criticism is its overuse of otherwise meaningless special characters; and I would agree; I puked a little in my mouth looking at the code samples. I would argue that the use of single special characters to signal a relatively complex and uncommon construct is exactly what I am trying to avoid with this proposal. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
