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:\>
