That really shouldn't be allowed...

The fact that it is, is what makes Perl so wonderful and bizarre at the same time in a sort of perfect mix!

    That's not true.

    For instance overloads are great when designing internal DSLs.

    These are embedded mini-languages which are meant to operate in very special semantics.

      ...but I think you know that LanX 😜

        Actually I don't know what I know about you.

        What I've seen is you regularly making very bold statements like a super expert, which are mostly unfunded and often needs correction.

        At the same time you keep showing code far away from any expert status.

        I'd say this already happened at least a dozen times ...
