However, the +(..) "trick" is very well-known and comes up very often (for me at least). It's documented in perlop and is worth knowing.

Cool trick, though!

    No arguments there, and if you're used to it, by all means run with it. That just means it's part of your personal style.

    Me, I prefer not to think about syntax precendence if I can avoid it. That isn't a 'better' way of looking at things, it just means we have different regional dialects. ;-)
