I thought of another positive point to idea in this presentation.

--begin recap or presentation--

given $x is an array reference the array can be accessed using

$x->@

while this is not handy for a simple scalar it is handy for complicated structures: 

$a->{c}[1]{q}->@

it has a nice left to right syntax

--end recap--

also for subs that return an array or results, rather than use wantarray inside the sub, just return an arrayref and use the new syntax:

mySub(parm0,parm1)->@

again a nice left to right syntax.

I like this better than using wantarray because with wantarray you never get what you want from this:

doSomething(

    parm => $value,

     parm2 => subReturnsList($parm),

  );
