Name the secret operator

Hi,

while doing some research for a talk on Perl secret operators, I tried
to find who first coined the term "secret operator".

I found a post from Greg Allen on February 2004 on this very list
(http://groups.google.com/group/perl.fwp/msg/e62668a760de1652),
and then a post by Abigail on comp.lang.perl.misc on January 2003
(http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/msg/22cfcd81a1521ec4).

Does anyone know of an earlier occurence of the term?


Now that I have seen Abigail's post on clpm, I want to know its name.
It is the longest secret operator I've seen, and also the only one
that must be on three lines (not counting the content).

<<m=~m>> 
  (commented out code and pod goes here)
m
;

I have a few ideas for names, but they don't fit very well, and do not
describe the "m\n;" part of the operator.
