Personally I don't think interpolation is the solution here.
I think interpolation is mostly useful where it makes a string clearer:
print "Hello " . $name . ".\n"; # not bad print "Hello ", $name, ".\n"; # hope no-one set $, print "Hello $name.\n"; # nice and clear print "Hello " . f($x) . ".\n"; # this is usually what I like print "Hello ", f($x), ".\n"; # has the advantage of print a list +of return values from the function without needing join (which is goo +d and bad) print "Hello @{[ f($x) ]}.\n"; # feel free to sit and stare inexper +ienced Perlers and maintainers
In the first case interpolation is nice, but in the second a list or concatenation is a little clearer. And anyway the early stages of complimation seperate variables from strings (look using `perl -MO=Deparse foo.pl` if you don't belive me).
