The Schwartzian Transform is on anybody's list of "Best Dressed Perl".
Heh. Not the VP of Technology of a former workplace of mine who denounced an instance of the Schwartzian Transform in my code as "unreadable and unmaintainable." (It was commented as an ST, so any who didn't know it could look it up, but, of course, he already knew it was bad so he could save himself the bother of learning something new.)
Of course, his idea of good Perl was Perl trying to look like Java...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
