Re^4: What operator should perl5porters use for safe dereferencing?

I don't see why:

~                               ~              ~
 > is any less acceptable than =   or $bool &=  $mask;

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
