: Personally I suspect he may prefer to stick with "type-before-name":
: 
:         my Dog $spot;
: 
:         sub Dog hot {...}

Note that the "sub" is standing in for &, so it'd have to be

    my Dog sub hot {...}

or

    my Dog &hot {...}

To get a dollarless variant of Perl it may suffice to make

    my Dog hot;

do something like:

    my Dog &hot () is rw { my Dog $anonymous }

On the other hand, if as I suspect dollarless Perl is pragma driven,
then hot and $hot could perhaps simply be synonyms.  Of course, we're
haven't solved the problem that people won't know what

    hot.pants()

means.  :-)
