New operators jerk my knee jerk

But they come and they go

but it they come they must come correct in perlop, no half assing like Postfix Dereference

assignary ? No

Its conditional assignment

Also not ter-signment , tri-sign, con-sign 

$var = $var ? JSON::PP::true : JSON::PP::false;
$var ?= JSON::PP::true : JSON::PP::false;


$var = $var 
       ? JSON::PP::true 
       : JSON::PP::false;

$var ?= JSON::PP::true
      : JSON::PP::false;


($coo ?=  $fudge : $brownie ) ?= $blondie : $oatmeal;


($coo ?= $fudge
       : $brownie ) ?= $blondie : $oatmeal;


($coo ?= $fudge
       : $brownie ) ?= $blondie
                     : $oatmeal;


($coo ?= $fudge
       : $brownie
) ?= $blondie
  : $oatmeal;



$coo = $coo
       ? $fudge
       : $brownie;

$coo = $coo

    thanks :)

    you forgot mention "assholy trinity" as possible name for such operator, it would be very on-topic in this community :)

      You start a "request for comments" and then you call us assholes?

        It was not meant this way, Rolf. I would not dare to call anybody here "asshole" or other disrespectful way.

        It was just other trying-to-be-funny name for this operator in this series of suggestions:

        • assignary
        • ter-signment
        • tri-sign
        • con-sign
        • assholy trinity :)

        And "on-topic in this community" was not meant as calling assholes, but as holy trinity fits in cleric terminology used here at Perl Monks. (Being also member here, if I would call community disrespectful way, I would call myself this way too.)

        Just wordplay joke aimed to operator itself, no offense.
