Programming style is and has always been and will always be a point of discussion.

I will try to show where statement modifiers will cause havoc when trying to understand code someone else has written.

This talk will specifically address a "problem" that only occurs in perl, as other languages like java and C do not have statement modifiers. When working in a development environment where multiple languages are used, "portable" style issues start to be very important.
