as I said I didn't prioritize, and things are too interconnected.

like {%h} is not only a ref to an anonymous hash but the %h is flattened inside the { LIST } operation.

My colleagues have to understand modules, for that to understand they need compile-time and namespaces

(I'm sick of all the requires into main:: in our code...)

Variable declaration happens at compile-time, die'ing at run-time should be avoided , ... and so on.

yes but they also need a mental map of essential key words.

A condensed Perlglossary would be nice, probably more explicit and with less Larry injokes.

Mission accomplished! :)
