G'day ikegami,

Thanks for the feedback. As mentioned, this is for a $work project, which has various contraints, so some of these "exotic" forms wouldn't come up anyway. Quickly working through the list:

  1. I'm familiar with "::" but it wouldn't pass code review (cleverness reducing readability). It would need to be changed to "package main".
  2. While "_a" probably wouldn't pass code review (non-meaningful name) it does match the pattern: I added it the original code and got "ok 8 - Testing _a". I do use names with a leading undersore in t/name.t scripts: typically prepending Some::Work::Module with _Test::, _Mock::, or similar.
  3. As already stated, non-ASCII names are disallowed ($work constraint).
  4. Like you, I wouldn't have considered "aaaa::::::bbbb" to be valid. It wouldn't pass code review. Possibly flagged with "too damn weird; are you drunk?". :-)
