The nested modifier, while it may have already been rejected, could have some tidy little uses.
I suppose that could be accomplished as but is that as clear as the first statement? Using map in void context to get the effect of a for seems clumsy. As for something I'd really like to see, interpolation of method calls in a string. As it is, I get to do the oh-so-readable That doesn't look like it should work, but it does. While I'm on the concept of OOP, I think I'd like to see Perl actually implement some form of strong encapsulation for objects "out of the box" as opposed to having to roll your own or re-use your "tried and true" method, whatever that may be (CPAN or home-grown). Certainly the "defined or" (dor) functionality would be a serious benefit to prevent warnings in my code. That's about all I can think of at this late hour. Time to sleep.
