hurricup has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello again Monks!
Another day - another mystery. This time is about double bitwise negation (or strange form of smartmatch)
First encountered in DBM::Deep:
my %is_legal_filter = map { $_ => ~~1 } qw( store_key store_value fetch_key fetch_value );
Than, in Devel::Declare (even stranger form):
set_in_declare(~~@{$temp_name||[]});
Deparse says that at least first one is double negation, no-op. So - what for?
P.S. is the second example just a weird replacement for scalar ?
