Just in case there's a misunderstanding here, NOTHING in PBP is mandatory. Some of the recommendations do, in fact, reflect a concensus among some Perl programmers. Others are held up to criticism as 'one author's preferences.'

And here's another 'one person's opinion' about your observation that it "should it be entirely up to the user to ensure that he used the correct sigil."
Frankly, that idea is anathema to me; IMO, it's just another way to write code that you will have trouble deciphering sometime down the road, and that some future maintainer will almost certainly find problematic.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
