BUK it's this kind of polemic nitpicking why I'm not discussing with you.

Let me explain:

> I also saw your post, saying "how absurd this argument about Perl reflecting natural language is.".

This is taken out of context and why swapping the objects brakes the natural language rules is perfectly explained in this post.

As I said, Perl's push is OK for me, but it's not as "natural" as you want us to believe. You seem to have double standards!

> My only defense is that it is drawn directly from the second example given in the autobox POD.

Again it's only an example. It's meant to demonstrate the new syntactical possibilities of autobox. It's evidently not meant as a use case, which should be evident for reasonable minds.

Forcing someone with nitpicking into examples which can't be criticized in any possible way, is a good method to make him speechless. I'm not playing this game...

You claim that you want me to explain things to you, I claim that you primarily want to win a debate.

Sorry if I do you wrong, but others here will certainly be willing to explain you the benefits of OOP and of reusing code from other languages.

Cheers Rolf
