[Phoenix-pm] I don't buy it

[Anthony R. Nemmer]

I don't buy the "Matt Wright" argument or whoever it is.  I think people 
can write perfectly good code in Perl 5 and use the & when calling 
subroutines.  You just need to be careful, per perlsub, in how you use 
&.  It's been my experience that prototypes are truly a hack, and that 
they are not used that often.  Again, this all may change with Perl 6, 
but when will Perl 6 be released?  It's probably years away.  Personally 
I think sigils are one of the things that makes Perl Perl, and that 
typeglobs are pretty cool.
