[Bioperl-l] $_ assignment question

[Hilmar Lapp]

I see. There's actually a number of bioperl contributors who (seem to) 
like that style a lot.

If you want to get rid of this (which I'd support) there needs to be a 
clear statement to this effect in a Bioperl Coding Conventions document 
(biodesign.pod? does anybody actually read that?).
