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:

      I can't test ATM

      You gotta stop saying that :)

      Contrary to AnoMonk I doubt space matters.

      Sure it does, it matters how Deparse places the space, because it matters to perl

      <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread>
      That is exactly as deparsed with -p, behaves exactly like the original
