Re^3: Why should I use perl 5.10?

in thread Why should I use perl 5.10?

The article says: "defined-or No more $x = defined $y ? $y : $z, you may write $x = $y // $z instead." Does "no more" in this case mean you are no longer *allowed* to do it, or you no longer *need* to do it, because there is an easier way? I must assume the latter!
