Having spent last months working in a large Perl system I feel much 
stronger about explicitness being a GOOD thing. More than once did I 
find bugs in the codebase that was due to the fact that Perl tries "too 
damn hard" to be smart.

Sure, some smartness may be fine - but I tend to think these days that 
one should be very careful when trying to guess what the developer wanted.
