Some time ago I have this post: http://blogs.perl.org/users/eugen_konkov/2017/04/soft-call-operator-thoughts.html
The only reason that ~> was not implemented because on some terminals it does not look like ->
So eight years of ugly coding had go.
Now I see other news in other languages about that it is going to be implemented:

It really cool. And it has no matter how it will look. (?.)
It really cool possibility to write clean code.
Does any know when perl5 will move further and do not stuck in last century?

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
