Isn't that an obfuscated way of writing a do block? :)

P:\test>perl -m-warnings=syntax -MO=Deparse,-p
    if (COND) {
        print ("something")
    }
^Z
no warnings;
do {
    print('something')
};
- syntax OK

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
"Efficiency is intelligent laziness." -David Dunham
"When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong." -Richard Buckminster Fuller
If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.

The way Abigail-II wrote the example is a bit misleading I think... He means this warning I believe:

D:\>perl -we "print('foo')"
foo
D:\>perl -we "print ('foo')"
print (...) interpreted as function at -e line 1.
foo
D:\>perl -we "print  ('foo')"
foo
D:\>perl -we "no warnings qw/syntax/; print ('foo')"
foo
D:\>
