Re^5: Will "$_[0]=shift" always resolve shift first?

my $foo = 0; print ++$foo + $foo++; prints 3

Treating + as a function is the best way I've found to explain it.

do { local @_;
     alias $_[0] = ++$foo;  # aliases to $foo
     alias $_[1] = $foo++;  # aliases to anon 1
     &sum                   # 2+1
   }
