It seems all of the reasons against auto-deref were answered in-so-much that that claims of ambiguity were shown not to exist. For example, in the case of use of 'keys'. Without autoderef, the language requires a perlvar of type ARRAY or HASH with a '@' or a '%' in front of it. Autoderef only supported the option of having a reference to something that would have had an '@' or a '%' in front of it. Since perl always knows the type of vars having an '@' or '%' in front of, then a reference to either can automatically, and unambiguously always be assumed to be of type that would have had an '@' or '%'. So can I ask that it's removal be undone? Thanks!Thread Next
