I love Perl sometimes

Introducing a new operator: the eager splat.

Larry Wall has just released his latest Apocalypse on redesigning Perl. As well as the beloved old "spaceship operator" (<=>), we now have the "yadda yadda yadda" operator (...) and the "eager splat" (**). There isn't a name, I don't think, for the two new operators <== and ==> but I imagine it's only a matter of time.

Perl has sometimes been described as resembling nothing so much as line noise. Well, Perl 6, to me, looks more and more like ASCII art.
