in reply to Question on syntax
In bigger scripts or to write one-liner? I used syntax print for 1..10 (no parens at all - this syntax IMHO is designed to economize on parens, too), for short lines, but in bigger projects lines became longer and soon I had to break those lines somehow and to decide which line is short and which one long. And decided to go back to 'normal' syntax in every case.
for(1..10) { print; }
if there is only one line of code inside loop/if. No space after 'for' but space after '{' and before '}'.
And if second line of code must be added inside block or in 'for' there is more code, I always change to 'normal' mode:
for(1..10) { print; $cnt++; }
for(1..10, 12..30, 74..112) { print }
