Ok, let's take each of the above 1-by-1
  • Quantum::Superpositions did not overload =~

    This is a shortcoming of Perl. Who the hell decided to permit overloading of some of the operators and not all? It's inconsistent. It leads to shortcomings in everything which wants to take advantage of overloading. Why shouldn't I expect Perl to be more useful in this respect?

  • Quantum::Superpositions does not work as advertised

    What I said in the title is exactly right based on both merlyn's response and what the author of the module Damian Conway said.

  • syntax error not detected by Perl compiler

    In this case, I called it as I saw it. There seemed to be an error in my program and Perl certainly did not alert me to it, thus the title "syntax error not detected by Perl compiler"
