Sure!  In the end, there&#x27;s not much that could really be said to definitively settle this besides a survey of a sizable amount of the Perl community.  All we&#x27;re left with is what our own preference is, and what&#x27;s stuck out to us from books, blog posts, comments and meetings, which is very prone to confirmation bias.  In the end, even if the consensus is it&#x27;s better not done, I don&#x27;t doubt it would be on the lighter side of ways you could disappoint coworkers.  It&#x27;s only <i>really</i> confusing to the Perl amateur.  That&#x27;s sort of what I meant by coworkers and dirty looks, rather than suggest your coworker will forcibly change your code for their own sanity. ;)
