That makes me vomit every time.
People who don't "use English" should be hit with a rubber mallet for
as long as it takes.
About the only hateful thing in this I can think of is that $" applies
inside of qr// type constructs. It would be so nice if there was some
other var for that scenario and that it would default to '|'
Of course, if perl was sensible "use English" would be the default and
$" wouldn't even conceivably be a variable name. But then perl isn't
sensible.

PS. I didn't say perl wasn't useful, but it's got way more than its
fair share of crap design decisions.
