Seems servicable. Doesn't exactly make me jump up and down, though.

Two problems. First, the Perl 5 example is equivalent to:
print +("Next is " . $i) + 1;
and I don't think that's what you ment. I think you ment...
print "Next is " . ($i + 1);
Which brings up a problem. '"$foo" + $number' is numeric addition. So
shouldn't '"Next is " + ($i + 1)' be numeric as well since one of the
sides is unquoted? Probably not what you wanted.
This problem will happen with any complex expression which you can't
easily put quotes around.

If you are only one year old, and this is the first time you have ever seen a
burger, your related neurons will gather into a new "hamburger" group. But I
bet you are not that young and already know what a burger is.
