That might be the obvious case in hindsight. But you can't change the DWIMmery radically now, without having something subtly being made different. Also, I think it's the same DWIMmery used at the beginning of a statement that might also be a return value for a subroutine: you sometimes want that to be a block, and sometimes and hashref, hence the DWIMmery.
Personally, I find the "+" prefix and ";" suffix to that open brace a bit tacky, but certainly a lot better than having a language force me to always use 8-space tabs just to make sure that lined up things stay lined up since the lineup is syntactically significant. {grin}

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).
