Gotta say that I think it's
(a) a nasty punctuation mess (don't we have *enough* of those already?)
(b) unnecessary (I don't get grumpy at typing `print')
(c) opening up more problems than it's solving
G

@_;
};
Solved my problem :)

I like very much a print() that returns the value of what you
printed rather than success. I am always needing to define
littly intermediate temporaries so I can insert debugging code
inside huge, tortuous expressions.
I don't know if C(>"print me"<) is it though.
Did you take a look at RFC 6

It's a shortcut, not a replacement. Rumors of select's death are
greatly exaggerated.

print "Hello there ", $r->fullname, "!\n";
3. Can you
