The whole prefixed conditionals is a Perl thing, just like unless, though where Larry picked them up, I don't know.
I think they're both great language features.

Heh, I thought it might have come from Perl. Matz found a lot of inspiration from it. Oddly enough, I have more experience with Python and Ruby than with Perl.

The "unless" conditional reminds me of Ruby, which reminds me of putting conditionals after the statement. Which reminded me of your entry about highlighting the main part of the the code. I used to be against putting conditionals after the statement, but now I am for it if it helps highlight the main block of code rather than obscuring it.
