It would be interesting to know why not. These magic variables are hard
to read and remember without consulting the manual pages.
There doesn't seem to be noticeable performance penalty any more:
$ perl --version | grep v5
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
$ time perl -e 'use English qw( -no_match_vars ); print'
real 0m0.016s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.004s
$ time perl -e 'print 1'
real 0m0.005s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
