Yes I know braces are optional when there is one statement in the block.

Perl can be as ugly as one writes it.

Many programmers come from 'C', find the braces mandatory and write Perl like they would write 'C' with braces. It's a fair example.

Just because Perl is written in 'C' doesn't mean I can't think it's ugly ;-) ( note the smiley ).

I know 'C' syntax, don't flame me over trivial matters.

I'm not attacking 'C', I'm using it as an example. That's all. Not everyone writes 'C' like that, I don't.

Please calm down and note the smiley!
