In Perl 5, ~~changes~~ | assignment to $[ ~~have~~ | has been increasingly constrained over the years and in the most recent versions ~~are~~ | is completely disabled, but I still can't help thinking when I write something like 0 .. $#ra to list all possible indices of an array that I should perhaps really be writing $[ .. $#ra instead.
