in thread Improve readability of Perl code. Naming reference variables.
So you would prefer to introduce two reference variables? Sorry, I do not
like this idea. I would prefer to keep the number of variables to a
minimum. Introducing two variables just for the sake of solving a
readability issue seems like a bad idea to me. What if one reference
was changed later in the code? Then you must remember to update the
other reference at the same place also. This clearly becomes a
maintenance problem. And if you forget to update the other variable, there are potential
for more confusion.
