in reply to the 'dot dot dot' operator

Um, ... is already an operator in Perl5. You should at least document that one can't use that anymore if one uses your module. See Re: My day with Damian Conway.

For the record, I'd rather have !!! and/or ??? instead of ... as I find their visibility much more in line with their importance (and for the reason given in my reply under the node I linked to above).

    Doh! Of course it is :-/

    I'll second that. I find ... a little too innocuous looking for an operator which will throw an error unconditionally if executed. So ??? is probably the way to go since it's a syntax error if left unfiltered.
