actually, the arrow operator is magical shorthand for the comma which also
stringifies its left operator.  we use it because it looks a little nicer and
keeps you from having to put quotes all over the place.

  foo => $something

is the same as

  'foo', $something

i think this is described in the perlop manpage.
