in reply to Ternary operator (there's no Trinary operator )

For fun, go through perlop and see how many punctuation (punctual?) operators have actual English names given. Operators are usually described like
Binary "-" returns the difference of two numbers.

The closest thing we have to a canonical list of names might be the PL_op_desc array in opcode.h in perl.git (amusingly enough, not in opnames.h in perl.git).
