You can always ask perl to "use English".
Mathematics is full of symbols and it is very beautiful once you
understand their meaning. Perl is no different, and the symbols
are well chosen - Larry Wall is a linguist and considerable effort
has gone into these details.
Learning a programming language is much more than the
semantics. Suggest the focus of our discussion is directed
towards deeper topics.
