Yes, this worked for me too. The order seemed completely unnatural when I was first learning Perl but I sort of told myself that <tt>~</tt> is the regex binding operator and the <tt>=</tt> or <tt>!</tt> is a modifier that indicates whether the binding is to be construed as an affirmative or negative one. Pretty kludgy but became second nature soon enough.
