Re: enforcing list context

Try putting another set of brackets around the ternary:

sub value {
    my ($self) = @_;
    return ( 
        $self->{first},
        ( $self->{rest} ? $self->{rest}->value : () ) 
    );
}

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I don't see how that could help, to be honest, the comma operator is still in scalar context.	[reply]

Sorry. Having re-read your question, I completely misunderstood the problem. The brackets don't help at all. Using the array seems like the best (only?) option to me.
