Re^8: Array dereference in foreach()

What is this "special context similar to lvalue"? Is there any difference to usual lvalue other than not throwing exception in case of array-dereferencing undef?

However it is not special enough to work smoothly with dereferencing undef as hashref. This one throws exception.

my $a;
foreach (keys %$a) {
  print "$_\n";
}

keys doesn't propagate the outer context to its argument. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $x; 1 for %$x; print $x, "\n"; # HASH(0x26a18cd)` [download] ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
