The part that left my office in stitches:

Larry left perl5 about 15 years ago, and nobody every will reserve random keywords like this. Keywords are very problematic in perl5 and are not needed all. You can add random new keywords at runtime, and you can add methods doing almost everything, like accepting blocks or functions, implementing most control structures.
