idiomatic Perl

Via Adam, some interesting discussion of idiomatic Perl.

Incidentally, which do you prefer?

$depth and $depth += ($datadir =~ tr[/][]) - 1;

if depth: depth += datadir.count('/') - 1

Anyway, this thread of articles goes beyond this silly bit of syntax - it's more interesting than that. In any case, I hope Perl 6 will make this look nicer.
