Because $test is in double-quotes, your shell is trying to interpolate it. Since it isn't set though (and there aren't such things as warnings and strict for the shell ; ), it is replaced with nothing and becomes:
perl -wMstrict -e"if( my() = 0 ) { print 'Passed'; } else { print 'Fai
+led'; }"
If you escape the $ you'll be fine.
perl -wMstrict -e"if( my(\$test) = 0 ) { print 'Passed'; } else { prin
+t 'Failed'; }"

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).
