Hm, but such code (for non-trivial programs) will re-invent the wheel a
whole lot, won't it? Since "use" includes a "require". (On the other
hand, it's a require in a BEGIN block, so that may not be a problem

I believe Perl can still embed raw *roff. IIRC, in Perl 1, POD hadn't
been invented, and Larry used raw *roff inside Perl code. However, I
don't think this practice is encouraged these days ;)

cannot, of course, since the order of hash keys obtained by flattening
the hash is not necessarily the same as when you built the hash. So you
might feed in an @in with "Foo: bar" and "Hello: world", unheader it into
a hash, header it back into an array, and get "Hello: world" followed by
"Foo: bar". This may or may not be a problem.

Since when do parentheses make things less readable?
Each parenthesis is one "token". The
hen apply negation but results in "-string" (`perldoc perlop` says:
"If the operand is an identifier, a string consisting of a minus sign
concatenated with the identifier is returned. [...] One effect of these
rules is that `-bareword' is equivalent to `"-bareword"'."

$count = () = $variable =~ m/foo/g;
The () puts the match into list context (so the matches themselves are
returned), and that list assignment evaluated in scalar context, giving
the number of values assigned to the list.
