  Description     : Perl pragma to disable multidmensional array emulation

Perl's multidimensional array emulation stems from the days before the
language had references, but these days it mostly serves to bite you
when you typo a hash slice by using the $ sigil instead of @.

This module lexically makes using multidmensional array emulation a
fatal error at compile time. To enable it, simply say

    no multidimensional;

at the beginning of your script.
