in thread What operator should perl5porters use for safe dereferencing?

eval is not equivalent. Not even close. While it does the job, it does significant collateral damage in the process, so it doesn't work at all as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not saying we need this feature. I'm simply saying "just use eval" is wrong.
