Yes, I agree. I especially like that there is only one return statement. In contrast, using multiple return statements violates the principle of DRY. Related items from Conway's Perl Best Practices, Chapter 6 (Control Structures):
Conway recommends formatting tabular ternaries with the colon at the front, for example: because, if you squint, it looks like a lookup table, thus converting the notoriously impenetrable ternary syntax into a familiar and easy to understand lookup table. Update: Fixed typo in Conway's example my $salute statement above (removed extra ?). Thanks AnomalousMonk.
