For that matter, if the "..." is the same in your two conditions, I'd do it like this:
my $val = ( $EXPR ) ? $x : $y;
my $var = sprintf( "...", $val );
OTOH, if the "..." is different in each case, I might take the trouble to put that into a hash...
my %format = ( $x => "... for x", $y => "... for y" );
my $val = ( $EXPR ) ? $x : $y;
my $var = sprintf( $format{$val}, $val );
And I agree with you and with earlier replies: it's a matter of personal preference for those of us who feel a sense of "semantic unity" in certain conditional assignments.

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).
