Some slight tweaking is in order. The backslashes are not needed, since &foo is already a reference in scalar context. You don't need the dot to dereference the routine value either, though it doesn't hurt anything. You don't need the last $ if you bind to &plus_op_subref instead. Also, one thing you couldn't know, since I just changed it, is that all operator names now use a variant of hash subscript syntax, so the
name of the builtin addition operator is any of:
infix:«+»
infix:<<+>>
infix:{'+'}
So I'd currently write your code as:
my &plus_op_subref = &infix:«+»;
my ¬_op_subref = &prefix:«!»;
say plus_op_subref(3, 2); # 5

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).
