I have wondered about this. Racke, myself and many others have been around
long enough to remember the bad old days of [perl arg="scratch values
session cgi any_other_damn_thing"] and it was nice when that was no longer
needed. It is possible that the [perl] tag can be made table/file ready,
eliminating the need for the tables parameter, or is the price too
great? It would be of much benefit, particularly when using the $Tag->
reference in [perl], because if that $Tag-> touches any tables (like
$Tag->shipping())you must include all those tables in the tables list
anyway (at least that was the case in 4.6.x, I admit I have not tried it in
4.8).
