in thread why does push not default to $_?

Maybe you think this because your an English speaker, but I know plenty of languages which are far more consistent and orthogonal than English.

Well, I'm not a native English speaker, but Larry Wall certainly is. And if any particular natural language was used to model Perl after, it was English, and not a more consistent and orthogonal language.

look at the specs for perl6, it looks far more consistent than perl5, without loosing perl's "natural" features. Discussing the design decissions is certainly not for vain! Cheers Rolf	[reply]
