Re: Unexpected parsing

This is fine:

c:\test>perl -MO=Deparse -e "my $c; 1 ? $c : my( $d ); $d"
my $c;
$c;
$d;
-e syntax OK

In your version, it's trying to parse an attribute--like $c :shared

In your version, it's trying to parse an attribute--like `$c :shared` I figured out from the error message what was happening with the parsing, but couldn't tell what was different about the 2 cases involving `my $c` that made them parse differently. I have updated my post with a guess (that it's the whitespace-plus-alphanumeric after the colon), but I'm not sure whether this is the desired behaviour or a bug (or my guess is wrong!).
