Either you are mistaken or I misunderstand you.
$perl -MData::Dumper -we 'my @a = my ($x,$y,$z) = localtime;print Dump
+er \@a'
$VAR1 = [
38,
27,
10
];
$perl -MData::Dumper -we 'my @a = () = localtime;print Dumper \@a'
$VAR1 = [];
In both cases @a is assigned the result of the ...=localtime list assignment. And as perlop says,
"a list assignment in list context produces the list of
lvalues assigned to". In the my() case, the lvalues are the ones returned by my(). Though there seems to be a bug here:
$perl -MData::Dumper -we 'my @a = my (undef,$y,$z) = localtime
;print Dumper \@a'
$VAR1 = [
49,
32,
10
];
I would have expected [undef,32,10] there.

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).
