I checked to see how well it was documented, and it is :) when I saw this example: $home = $ENV{'HOME'} // $ENV{'LOGDIR'} // (getpwuid($<))[7] // die "You're homeless!\n"; If it is propagated that barewords are autoquoted in hash keys, why not write it as $home = $ENV{HOME} // $ENV{LOGDIR} // (getpwuid ($<))[7] // die "You're homeless!\n"; Less line noise could make it easier to read.
