It does, thank you. I tried running your first test: 
perl -we "my $s = qq[0\n]; printf qq[%s\n], ($s ? 'true' : 'fal
+se');

All I ever got were the following errors: 
syntax error at -e line 1, near "my  ="
Search pattern not terminated or ternary operator parsed as search pat
+tern at -e line 1.

However, when I put it into a script and ran it, it worked fine. Also, your second test does not work for me: 
#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;

local $/ = \1;

for ($_ = <DATA>; $_; $_ = <DATA>)
{
    print "<$_>\n";
}

__DATA__
1
0
42

When I run it, I get the following: 
<1>
<

But at this point, my question is answered. Now we're just toying around!
