I can't test ATM

You gotta stop saying that :)

Contrary to AnoMonk I doubt space matters.

Sure it does, it matters how Deparse places the space, because it matters to perl 

$ perl -w
print(two (('two' == 'five') ? 'true' : 'false'));
Unquoted string "two" may clash with future reserved word at - line 1.
^Z
Name "main::two" used only once: possible typo at - line 1.
Argument "five" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at - line 1.
Argument "two" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at - line 1.
print() on unopened filehandle two at - line 1.

That is exactly as deparsed with -p, behaves exactly like the original
