Re^2: Improve readability of Perl code. Naming reference variables.

Camel case makes my skin crawl. Hate it. Give me underscores or give me death.

I guess it's all a bit subjective. I don't dislike underscores and can happily use them if mandated but camelCase keeps long descriptive variable names shorter which is why I prefer it.

[nysus]

It's totally subjective. Whether warranted or not, camel case reminds me of Microsoft code. Underscores remind me of old school programming. I also think camel case is harder to read. Though camel case does take fewer keystrokes to execute. I'll give you that.

Only if your keyboard doesn't have a Useless Key™ which you've remapped to be a single-keystroke underscore. :-)
