Yes! Finally, someone may agree with me to change our keywords with much better words. I've always been quite fond of crabcakes, periwinkle, and of course uncopyrightable. I think kill should be replaced with bore_to_death. tie should be replaced with tye, log with timber and our with not_their. and and or should be replaced with dynasty and days_of_our_lives, push should be changed to shove to show that snobby little array that we mean business, no should be replaced with damn, use should be replaced with periwinkle, tell should be replaced with can_you_hear_me_now, while should become as_the_world_turns and study should become wtf.

Of course, I've always regretted that perl doesn't include a bend_to_my_will_computer built-in. That's why I'm looking forward to Perl 6! :)
