      I think B::Deparse gets it wrong -- as it sometimes does -- when you add -p:

      My theory: When Deparse tries to add parens wherever it can, it treats the first two as a function call (which was my first guess too). But as tobyink correctly surmised, that first two is treated by print as a filehandle.

      This is confirmed by the more low-level output of B::Concise:
