I add my voice to this: the should be a way to inline
functions and method calls.
Granted you can use the pre-processor (perl -P)
to inline functions but this does not work for method calls.
This is really bad when designing OO Perl, where I find
myself using straight hash access ($o->{field}) instead
of accessors ($o->field) for some often-called methods
(or writing painfull and risky kludges),
which makes maintenance much harder
I am actually very surprised this is not even a Perl 6
RFC, I would
think that this is a simple (I would think it is quite easy to
implement) way to enhance speed or maintainability of OO Perl programs.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
