How special purpose is "with"?  Do people envision using it *only* on
hashes?  (I did until this email)  If so, I like Damian's version best:

Just to see if I have that right...

1:	use strict;
2:	my %foo;
3:	with (%foo) {
4:		first => 10,
5:		second => ^first - 5
6:	}

replaces:

1:	use strict;
2:	my %foo = ( first => 10);
3:	$foo{second} = $foo{first} - 5;
