Hmm... I'm curious, has anyone yet tackled printf("%d{x}",%d{x})? Is
that a bug or does it produce "n{x}" where n i

Well, it'll sure make the subset of Perl programmers who have always quoted
hash subscripts anyway (like me--usually with single q

It's only a bareword when the parse
Hi,
This is already handled in Perl 5 - which I guess will have
an influence on Perl 6. I doubt Larry is going to force
everyone to quote the hash subscripts (are you Larry? :)
Let a newish (6 < now < 12 months) non professional
(unemployed student ;) Perl programmer, like myself, look
at how h

$foo{shift} vs. $foo{"shift"}
$foo{bar} vs. sub bar() { ... } $foo{bar}
vs. $foo{+bar}
vs. $foo{b
