> Pyrrhic victory
perhaps a tad hyperbolic? OP asked for reduction in syntax (I read it as more readable) - not even "less typing"; but the only thing I can assuredly tell you is that I tend to use this module a lot nowadays. And it is true that eliminating a paired set of curlies in exchange for some dereference syntax is worth it to me; and "overhead" (whatever that means to the reader) is generally never something I even look at. My optimizations happen on the algorithmic or complexity level; IOW I avoid nesting loops in favor of ... hashes (and references to such) :-) In any case, I should have added a YMMV.

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).
