Yes, with tied variables, even reading variables can have side effects. I hope that perl6 will be more friendly to IDEs. For example a tied variable that has a side-effect should be flagged as dangerous by an appropriate property.<o> That's my main grief against Perl. Natural languages come with an environment, so should computer languages. Well, perlmonks is a social environment. That's already something. :)
