I would be delighted to see something like this. As much as possible, I
like to see similar concepts use similar syntax.

            my ( $foo, undef ) = some_func();
    sub wibble ( $foo, undef ) { ... }

That's much more intuitive when we can *guess* what the syntax is. So
either allow the undef in the signature declaration or allow the $ in
the variable declaration (I don't know if the latter is even possible,
thanks to the $) variable).

            my ( $foo, $ ) = some_func();
    sub wibble ( $foo, $ ) { ... }

Best,
