Re^2: strange behaviour in perl ..please explain

exit evaluates given expression, your print statement in this case and exits.

No. exit is evaluated with no arguments in all of the OP's snippets.

print"yes",exit ,print"no" if ($var)
[download]

is the same as

print( "yes", exit(), print("no") ) if ($var)
[download]

That's because

print( "yes", exit( , print("no") ) ) if ($var)
[download]

is illegal.

Ah, I stand corrected, I missed the comma :-) -- `seek $her, $from, $everywhere if exists $true{love};`	[reply] [d/l]
