Note that the content of the "anonymous" reply you replied to indicates it was authored by our Worst Nodes champion - who's
recently introduced an annoying new tactic of replying "anonymously" ... and then sometimes agreeing with himself by replying
to the "anonymous" post as sundialsvc4!
I don't know why he's started doing this only recently.
FWIW, I've often used the goatse operator in production code at work without wrapping it in a sub -
though I always provide a one-line comment pointing to the goatse operator documentation.
Having discussed the use of this operator during code reviews with a number of serious C++ programmers (but occasional Perl programmers) at work,
I can report they've all been happy with this approach because, as skilled programmers,
once they became aware it's a standard Perl idiom, they found the perlsecret documentation
clear and easy to understand.

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).
