in reply to Indirect Object Syntax

I've only ever seen it for the defacto construction of an "object". But using it like a keyword gives the impression that new is a keyword. Then you start giving people the impression that Perl is OOP. Then all of a a sudden you get an influx of JAVAtm programmers. THEN you get people actually trying to make Perl act like JAVAtm, and well... I don't think I need to say more. xD
