in reply to Why is Dumper returning "!!1" for true file test?

Did some more googling around and turned this up: https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.changes/2022/05/msg58981.html

So looks like there was a change to Dumper module fairly recently. I've never seen the !!1 format for true, though. What is the origin story here?

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MC = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar Parson";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MC;

    And here is the actual change to the code: github repo

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MC = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar Parson";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MC;
