    ... because, with or without parentheses, this logic is based on a “side-effect.” A “side-effect” is not(!) “a clear and unambiguous (“stupid simple™”) expression of the logic’s actual, durable, intention.

    Did you sundialsvc4 wrote ~287 words to say hes ignorant of a 23 year old perl feature?

    Clearly of expression is not important to you

    Unary + is a 23 year old perl feature ( 1994-Oct-17 )

    Unary "+" has no effect whatsoever, even on strings. It is useful syntactically for separating a function name from a parenthesized exp +ression that would otherwise be interpreted as the complete list of function arguments. (See examples above under L<List Operators>.)
