Seems confusing, doesn't it? IMO, a statement is usually something like
Meaning part of your code that evaluates an expression, or EXPR. In this example, the EXPR is $this == 1, and the if statement evaluates it to return a certain value and perform a function based on the outcome. It seems to me you are just beginning your journey in the world of Perl, and would do well to invest in a book - perhaps Learning Perl. Update: In the simplest possible terms : Expression
Statement
