Not true. You can go down complex data structures as
deeply as you want. And arrows are optional between two
sets of brackets.

That might be true in 5.6. The Arrows are optional in Program
text, but in ""?

It's been true ever since references were added to the
language in 5.0. And they are optional anywhere that
you dereference a complex data structure (including within
quotes). This is mentioned in perldoc perlref. If
you think you have an example where this doesn't work
then please post it.
