in reply to u+ fails to force scalar context to empty list assignment: +( () = ... )
From perlop
Unary "+" has no effect whatsoever, even on strings. It is use +ful syntactically for separating a function name from a parenthesiz +ed expression that would otherwise be interpreted as the complete +list of function arguments. (See examples above under "Terms and List Operators (Leftward)".)
