That's an interesting idea. I don't think precedence is going to come up for them, at least not with the low precedence operators, so the advice may be "add parens if it's not working they way you thought it would". That way we get the readability. From my experience so far, use of parens to deal with precedence issues is going to very, very rare for our users. If they do run into issues, I may want them to talk to me about it anyway.
Now I just need a 'like' operator in Perl for regex matching..... ;)

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).
