"like" is beautiful for old-style regex matching, but I find it
confusing for the new smart abilities:
$var like Class:Foo # $var is instance of Class:Foo
$item like %hash # %hash{$item} is true
$digit like (0..10) # $digit is in 0..10 range
@array1 like @array2 # array intersection
$num like &f # f($num) is true
All this ones fit more with the concept of "mystical analogy" hinted
by =~ than with the plain similarity that one would expect from
"like"
Oh, and =~ looks much more intimidating, which is good, given its..
err.. power.
