Re: Of variable {mice} and its name {man}.

One common exception to the no short name rule is for the bleeding obvious - especially for an object. For example,

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

seems more perlish than

my $user_agent_for_general_usage = LWP::UserAgent->new();

A convention that I picked up solely through liberal cut-n-paste of pod examples.
