in thread Cool example of list assignment usage

I don't think =()= is very common. I've seen a lot of perl code and never seen this idiom. Is it in one of the books or man pages?

You're correct about the missing /g. The extra parentheses are there to make it easier for me to read, although perl doesn't need them.

    You see? Different people have different preferences and tastes, unnecessary parens tend to make stuff more difficult for me to read in say 99% of cases.
