From perlstyle(1):

When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it will let some poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi. Even if you aren't in doubt, consider the mental welfare of the person who has to maintain the code after you, and who will probably put parentheses in the wrong place.

This is a feature that's been in programmer's text editors for millennia.

Cheers,

b&
