These tend to be hard to read. For legibility, use C or a named value. However, braces, parentheses and brackets tend to look better in quotes, so those are allowed. $str = join ',', @list; #not ok $str = join ",", @list; #not ok $str = join q{,}, @list; #better $COMMA = q{,}; $str = join $COMMA, @list; #best $lbrace = '('; #ok $rbrace = ')'; #ok print '(', @list, ')'; #ok =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005-2011 Imaginative Software Systems.
