A bit trickier than I originally thought. What I didn't expect was the need to use the :lvalue on both the listifier and constructor.
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use feature qw{ say }; { package L; use overload '+=' => sub { my ($self, $inc) = @_; $_ += shift @$inc for @$self; }; sub new :lvalue { bless $_[1], $_[0] } } sub L :lvalue { 'L'->new(\@_) } my ($x, $y, $z) = (10, 20, 30); L($x, $y, $z) += L(3, 2, 1); say "$x $y $z"; # 13 22 31
You can use [3, 2, 1] on the RHS, as well.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
