Re^2: return value of "if" (documentation?)

... the last statement evaluated is the conditional...

do{}; blocks can be thought of as immediate-execution subroutines, with implicit(-only) return values.

These two things in particular cleared things up for me very well, thank you very much! The second one also clears up why an empty do{} returns undef or the empty list depending on context. Although now I can't help but wonder where that is documented, if at all...?
