Okay first off people it's "0 but true" with the quotes.
And it can be quite useful. Hell, *ctl and sysseek return it sometmies.
I've used it for implementing a trinary return value, and when I wanted/needed
to explicitly use an obscure value.
Personally I'm counting on use Perl5; to save me from this debauchery.
I might put up with filehandle objects and less global punctuation,
I but want a goddman arrow operator. It's *cool*, it makes sense.
$hashref->{foo}->{bar}->[2]
Is just so much more sensical IMO than:
$hashref.{foo}.{bar}.[2]
It's a little diagram, follow the arrows...

MOTD on Pungenday, the 34th of Bureaucracy, in the YOLD 3167:
"Five to one against and falling ... four to one against and falling ... three to one
... two ... one ... probability factor one to one ... we have normality, I repeat we
have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem."
