Re^11: shift on empty array in list context broken (show context)

In that case you might be interested in playing with B::Deparse .

The -p option will highlight precedence, which is crucial for context

  
$ perl -MO=Deparse,-p
$a, $b = 666
($a, ($b = 666));
- syntax OK
$

Yours is a good suggestion. A jaunt into the B Modules would likely be nearly as clear as a Cloven's' Christmas Do. As for my proposal of equality between shift and splice, where the true equivalence is almost, but not quite entirely, unresolved; perhaps a subscript into the slice would be in order.	[reply]
