Nope. From the manpage:
" As of release 5 of Perl, assignment to $[ is treated as a compiler
directive, and cannot influence the behavior of any other file. "
So it was at least made a bit less stupid many years before being
finally killed off.
For extra excitement, perl has this nifty feature where you can index
from the end of an array using negative numbers:
@array = ('ant', 'bat', 'camel', 'dolphin');
print $array[-1]; # dolphin
print $array[-2]; # camel
I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out what the hell
should happen if $[ is set to -2.

viml:
" String comparisons normally honor the local setting of Vim's
ignorecase option, but any string comparator can also be explicitly
marked as case-sensitive (by appending a #) or case-insensitive (by
appending a ?) "
