It's not just order of precedence though, it's that left right shift parsing stuff that lex/yacc/bison/etc do. It makes little sense to me, but that's really what I was talking about. And I'm pretty sure perlop lists the operations as assoc or left — which I assumed was referring to the operator shifting in the parser generator. It hardly matters since there's general agreement that the operations are unreliable. The correct solution is to split up the line (in my opinion).

I wish I had been more clear in the first place. And I wish I'd said split up the line instead of talking incoherently about parens. I actually still kinda wonder if you can get everything to happen in the same order reliably with parens, but it seems not.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
