One comment I have: // and //= don't require you to say anything at all to use them. You just have to be running Perl 5.10 or later. So if the intent is to now say, "use Syntax::Construct qw( // ); so that someone looking at the script knows they must be using a sufficiently new version of Perl to provide the // operator, that requires that the person looking at the script now do the footwork of figuring out what Perl version started providing that syntax, which seems to sort of go against the spirit of the module. In such a case, it would be much clearer to say, "use v5.10; # Because we like //"
