It does: = is an assignment operator, and has higher precedence than comma , .

I haven't run your code, but I suppose it's just printing the JAPH phrase after assigning "Just" to 4 variables.

Since I'm using auto-indentation - which is emphasizing multi-line commands, I would have noticed your bug immediately.

    probably a better demonstration:

    >perl use strict; use warnings; my $J='Just', my $A='Another', my $P='Perl', my $H='Hacker'; print "$J $A $P $H"; __END__ Just Another Perl Hacker
