in thread Bless and Do

If you really want to use a do, you could also

my $variable = do { my $x = 49; bless \$x, 'Rates::Notification'; };
which I think scans better.

Yes, do on the outside always scans better, its like creating a sub and calling it immediately,  (sub { ... })->(); except prettier :)

    To avoid misunderstandings: It's similar but not identical!

    DB<106> sub tst { (sub { return 5 })->(); return 10 } DB<107> tst() => 10 DB<108> sub tst { do { return 5 }; return 10 } DB<109> tst() => 5

    Like with map and grep is the block following do not an anonymous sub!

      "Like" means "similar" I think dictionary can agree!

      Like with map and grep is the block following do is not an anonymous sub!

      Of course we're discussing looks!

        > I think dictionary can agree!

        Nope, check dictionary for "like...except..." .
