if( do { my @f; 1 == ( @f= one() ) || 1 == ( @f= two() ) } ) {

but that still leaves the body of your 'if' statement on separate lines. So you probably want to change your semicolons to commas, add parens where needed, maybe a few more 'do's so you can use a statement-modifier 'if' instead. The number of lines is really getting out of hand here. All that whitespace makes the multiple layers of nested parens and braces not nearly as interesting to stare at.

Update: Oh, the @f doesn't survive outside of the do { }. 

if( my @f= do { my @g; 1 == ( @g= one() ) || 1 == ( @g= two() ) } ) {
