Another factor for why it is terrible is that it is impossible to use in an easy-to-read manner in any kind of list-processing functions like map, grep or the myriad others on CPAN.
Compare:
my @trimmed = map trim, @strings;
my @trimmed = map { trim( my $trimmed = $_ ); $trimmed } @strings;
Honestly not a ding on you, but i find myself a little disheartened at how often conversation focuses on the internal mechanics of an implementation and disregards the ux implications.
