in reply to Re^3: ... for (@_) x= 2; (scalar assignment)in thread ... for (@_) x= 2;
sorry?
> x= seems doing the same in all three cases - it asks @_ to be a scalar.

Anyway it might be an implementation flow that you sometimes don't get a warning or compilation error, but not a very serious one.
I don't see the point discussing it further, since you have plenty of possibilities to achieve your goal in a much saner way.
