I got a better idea.  Let's assume that the person who maintains your
code is a recent graduate that doesn't have any experience with Perl.
How would he know that shift does two different things?

It's nice to be brief but only providing it does interfere with
understanding.  Remember:  Hard to understand code is costly to
maintain code.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
