1) if there are links, explore them :) 2) make links obviou 3) hi

Perl 5's references are fine, but sometimes dereferencing them is not. postfix dereference syntax - nntp.perl.org

You know, I have been so consumed with faith in this feature for years that I felt it could just drop right in. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206931.html

I'd say that any feature that is beyond trivial should initially be marked experimental. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206938.html

I know you put a lot of effort into this one so I am sorry to say this, but I am pretty sure we will regret adding this syntax. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206034.html

It's all the same problem we ran into with auto-dereferencing "keys $r". http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206051.html

I can't help but think "brainfuck autobox"

I agree with Johan and Brad. It appears we're adding ugly syntax and a maintenance burden for something that I would probably never use. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206022.html

What's the chance we might just reverse the arrow for postfix dereference? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206663.html

Thanks, so this proposal will make a lie out of every Camel book in existence. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206045.html

I think it complicates an already complex subject without adding that much benefit. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/08/msg206007.html

Man, if I ever thought an *explicit* request for opinions was needed on p5p, I'd check my prescription. ;) http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/07/msg204196.html

Do you remember the conditional-dereference operator that was bikeshedded to oblivion? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/07/msg204070.html

Basically, rjbs/d.golden really wanted it

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
