Re^4: elements not reversing inside a map

Ok, but why? Shouldn't the short-circuit operator take effect then?

From perlop:

Scalar or list context propagates down to the right operand if it is evaluated.

But that's "if" it is evaluated... which it doesn't seem like it would be.

The act of evaluating the high-precedence or operator puts the reverse in scalar context.	[reply]
