I personally agree with you that the order of subexpression evaluation could be defined in all cases, within Perl. (Heck, I think it could be defined now within C, as well.) But, I think tye has a very good point - who's going to go through the work of defining them? I certainly don't want Larry, Damian, Alison, or anyone on the P6L team doing it for P5. Maybe, this could be your big contribution to P6, but I'd get Larry's signoff on it, first. (Or, at the very least, run it past him and hope he doesn't deep-six the idea.)

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).
