Re^2: odd =>behavior

I think I have in fact done that. In my original code, I had fat fingered => ( in lieu of >= ) I had a few moments and was playing with => vs >= on the command line. My first example, using => and >=, outputs 12. So based on that behavior, I would have expected the same to happen in my code.

In your first example you have `$num` which is greater-than-or-equal to 1, so that prints the 1; you also have (in effect) `print 2 if 2` which again is always true so it's always going to print. When you change your conditional in the later code to `print unless $count => 8` you effectively have `print unless 8`, which will always be true hence you get all elements. The cake is a lie.
