Hi, It's like with any other compound operator: A _real_ reason isn't there. But saying "It's not worth it" is something I can live with (even if I don't know how much effort it would take ;)). I just asked myself: '?:' is (a kind of?) binary operator and every other binary operator is available as compound operator, so why not '?:', so I don't have to repeat the variable?
No, every other binary operator is not available. If I interpret this right one could say that all short-circuiting operators are not available. E.g. you also can't write $foo &&= $bar; or $foo ||= $bar. The ?: operator also falls in this category of short-circuiting logical operators.
Yes, makes sense... And thinking further I think myself it's better to keep it as it is. So thanks for your time :) Regards, Sebastian
