in reply to If I was forced to program in another language, the Perl language feature I would miss most would be:

Besides the anonymous subs, I would also miss hash, regular expressions, hash & array slices, and map. That, in whole or in parts, has been already listed by others.

Sometimes I ever so slightly miss statement modifiers until I remind myself that the current language is not named Perl.

I would & do miss here-doc while using languages like Java. I was severly missing regular expressions in Rexx (before IBM OS/390 was renamed to z/OS) for work related text processing.
