Re: Surprising Precedence/Context

As you can see below, the = binds tighter than the and, so your second example is parsing as:

(my($yes2)=defined $bad) and -f $bad;

Deparse:

[~]$ perl -MO=Deparse -e 'my($yes2) = defined $bad and -f $bad;'
-f $bad if my($yes2) = defined $bad;
-e syntax OK

When looking at precedence issues, the -p (full parens) Deparse option is helpful. `> perl -MO=Deparse,-p -e 'my($yes2) = defined $bad and -f $bad;' ((my($yes2) = defined($bad)) and (-f $bad));` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
