Ouch indeed :D
I have been visiting perlmonks for 10 years and never seen that once, and I did write the c-style version at least 5 times.
Correction, I did see it once last year in Re: Perl v5.13.7 is released, but it wasn't in actual code.
Its not that surprising, there is no example in each documentation.
I did a super search for "each @" and only found this 3 instances of actual use in 10 years (search yielded ~47 nodes, "each@" yielded 4 nodes )
(newest first)
This is worthy of poll quest.
update: Oh, it wasn't available until 12 Apr 2010 ( p5123-keys, values work on arrays), now I don't feel so bad :)
