No, you're still ignoring the answers I already gave.

It's a meditation about using Perl as (partial) DSL for Ruby.

Again, the benefit of a shorter syntax is better understandable within a Ruby context, where passing callbacks is integral part of the language.

Mastering this technique in Perl takes much longer because a beginner has to understand prototypes and coderefs.¹ Furthermore it's inconsistent in Perl because you can't use prototypes on methods.

And I already admitted that I wouldn't use this implementation in Perl.²

Finally, debating about "beauty" of syntax is in the eye of the beholder, so lets agree that we disagree.³

¹) Personally, it took me years before I started to hack Perl in this way. Ruby people have to learn it from the start.

²) Could this be the reason I didn't post it under CUFP? Surprise!

³) And I don't like your inquisitory attitude to fight everything you don't understand in mosnter threads.
