p5p-the-list can endlessly debate issues like this, but don't mistake that for decision, justification, or anything like that. When it comes down to it, someone may produce a
patch, and the blead pumpking may apply it. No one else matters except Larry.
I have taken advantage of the misfeature, and probably will again, but would be happy to have it not be the default...except for one issue which was raised in the p5p noise:
I think - should continue to indicate stdin. And once you have that one exception,
you've already lost the battle for a "safe" *.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
