You need to read the p5p archives on this subject.  It caused much
bitter dissent within the ranks.  The last word heard was that nothing
would be done on it in 5.6, if ever.  We already have a working patch
for it, but it's not something that the pumpking(s) are eager to
include.

So, you'll have to stick with 'defined($x) ? $a : $b'.

Cheers;

Nat
