The Schwartzian Transform is on anybody's list of "Best Dressed Perl".

Heh. Not the VP of Technology of a former workplace of mine who denounced an instance of the Schwartzian Transform in my code as "unreadable and unmaintainable." (It was commented as an ST, so any who didn't know it could look it up, but, of course, he already knew it was bad so he could save himself the bother of learning something new.)

Of course, his idea of good Perl was Perl trying to look like Java...
