Note that the content of the "anonymous" reply you replied to indicates it was authored by our Worst Nodes champion - who's recently introduced an annoying new tactic of replying "anonymously" ... and then sometimes agreeing with himself by replying to the "anonymous" post as sundialsvc4! I don't know why he's started doing this only recently.
FWIW, I've often used the goatse operator in production code at work without wrapping it in a sub - though I always provide a one-line comment pointing to the goatse operator documentation. Having discussed the use of this operator during code reviews with a number of serious C++ programmers (but occasional Perl programmers) at work, I can report they've all been happy with this approach because, as skilled programmers, once they became aware it's a standard Perl idiom, they found the perlsecret documentation clear and easy to understand.
