dot sigils are not actually special. They are required on has-variables and forbidden on all other. Changing them to be optional is trivial, or so I hope. (I believe that sigils or twigils should not indicate scope, duration or type. The distinctin between the major variable types is useful, further distinction is not.) > I don't think this is true, this is a Perl 5-ism. Perl 5 isn't a synonym for "bad". "Perl 5-ism" can be construed as positive or negative. Please do elaborate.
