I never said I want that push accepts a default second argument, I just want a consistent and orthogonal behaviour.
Then Perl isn't your forte. Perl was designed with the human mind and natural languages in mind - neither of which are consistent or orthogonal. (BTW, my 'you' was a generic you, not specifically aimed at you).
It may be the occupational disease of a mathematician, but I just prefer a predictabel symmetry in logical systems!
Guido van Rossum is a mathematician as well. Hence Python. (This isn't meant as a jab at Python - far from it; Python is a nice language, it just has a different philosophy than Perl).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
