Re^2: ~~ and list literal

TIL that parentheses don't imply a list context. Also these don't:

"x" ~~ qw(x y z)
"x" ~~ sort(x y z)
[download]

I find that only this do: "x" ~~ @{["x", "y", "z"]}

Any other which I missed?

TIL that parentheses don't imply a list context Ofcourse, I never said parentheses imply a list context, it's the `comma operator` that does. But, what I did say/wrote is that the smartmatch `..infers contexts from the actual types of its operands and uses that type information to select a suitable comparison mechanism...` Any other which I missed? Please, check perlop for detailed information If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply]
