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

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:\>
