$#ARY could be depreciated (another "confusing" special variable bites
the dust) and we would have a whole lot more detail regarding arrays
during array ops.
Any thoughts on this?

obviously plural. Again, I refer you to Dan Sugalski's message about this.

That was disturbingly Zen. ;-)

Take this away and Perl becomes C.

Perl 6 extensible for future struct types, but line noise indeed...

like it needs it's own struct type.
Between this an HOFN (higher-order function notation), it sounds like Perl
is starting to become much more math oriented! Maybe they'll start
teaching Perl 6 instead of Fortran for CS300, hmm?

Sure, and if it throws an exception you get a papercut().

what about:

One more thing: Does the 'constant' refer to the hash (ie, the ability to
add and delete items) or to the individual data elements?
Darn typing!! Darn constants!!

Maybe I'm drifting off topic. Maybe I'm covering ground that's been trod
before. In any case, I'd like to hear what you guys think about this.
Especially Damian, because he's the poor sap writing the RFC. :-P

Just as simply,
- $foo is the variable 'foo'

- ^_ is the default placeholder
Or any variation, given Nathan Wiger's original list (! ^ &) and others.

I agree. The '#' has become a staple of Good Formatting in Perl. For
multiline comments in Perl, how about something like #$ .. $# or #* ..
*#? There is something to be said for the cliche ## comment blocks
at the top of Perl programs, but maybe a neater alternative should be
considered...
