Rephrased:

B::Deparse thinks (and I expected) that parens have priority to capture function arguments and that

do('foo')->{'bar'};

is analogous to

(do 'foo') -> {bar}

but the weird parser rather sees

do ('foo' -> {bar})

see the difference in priority of parens around arguments by comparing print() vs do()

just remember the common trap when people try writing something like

 print (caller)[5]

$ perl -c -e  'print (caller)[5]'
syntax error at -e line 1, near ")["
-e had compilation errors.

while

$ perl -c -e  'do (L,I,S,T)[5]'
-e syntax OK
