I don't like it either. But on the plus side, you will be able to use the hyper concantenation operator. 
print _("Blah blah",$d->func,"somewhat");

When perl6 makes it's debut, I will probably use this form exclusively. It's too hard to tell at a glance between $foo_bar and $foo _ bar on my screen.

    Nifty, I didn't know about _(). Although the example might be better put 
    $string = _("Blah blah",$d->func,"somewhat");

    since 
    print "Blah blah ", $d->func, " somewhat";

    works today. What I am worried about is not $foo_bar vs $foo _ $bar but rather the later vs $foo - $bar. When we used the . operator a mis-shift would result in $foo > $bar which is easily seen even when you are skimming code.

      Duh. You're right, bad example.
