Well in Perl5, for the print to use default value it's just 'print;'. The
same applies for alot (all?) of Perl5 functions. The default value is always
(as far as I know) $_ or @_ depending on the context.
Both the following would work:
with($foo){
print "I am not a $foo\n";
# or:
print "I am not a ";
print;
}
The idea for this style of C<With>, came because I don't see why the default
has to always be $_. Often the amount of code required would be able to be
dramatically reduced if 'default value' was userdefinable for blocks with
the With command.
