Your code suffers from the dreaded "Indirect Object Syntax" - something to avoid. In legacy code it can be excused, but not in example code.

    Whoa, you are the first to call this beauty a dreaded thing :) Indirect Object Syntax is one of my favourite features of Perl! Why on Earth is it "dreaded"?

        Of course, I know the limitations of Indirect Object syntax. Maybe I shouldn't use it in sample code for newbies, yes, but WhiteBird is an abbot. And please please don't call the thing "dreaded" because it is not.
