Thanks, I somehow wanted to nail down mental coordinates of the "Perl hyper space". But just dropping words wouldn't help because most people would just assume something and nod.

But asking a question puts them under stress and motivates them to rethink and gives an incentive to do some research.

And at least I can point to that list next time people "try to misunderstand" me in meetings... ;-D

I could add this to "precedence"

Unfortunately it's a very stubborn windows context here at $job$, i.e. really working with a shell/cmd is out of scope for most of our team ...

I know the list is incomplete ...

( actually I was sure I also mentioned autovivification, but somehow this extended list got lost ) ...
