ricardo_sdl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

This is the code:

use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use Config; my @list = ("housekeeper" =~ /keeper/, "housekeeper" =~ /^keeper/, "housekeeper" =~ /keeper$/, "housekeeper\n" =~ /keeper$/); say "list"; say scalar(@list); print Dumper(@list); foreach(@list) { say; } my @other_list = (1 == 1, 1 == 0, 0 == 0, 1 != 0); say "other_list"; say scalar(@other_list); print Dumper(@other_list); foreach(@other_list) { say; }

I was expecting 4 "boolean" values in the @list array. But apparently it only has 3 elements, all truthy ones. The @other_list has 4 elements as I was expecting. What am I missing here?

I've got the same results on windows (strawberry-perl-5.28.0.1-64bit-portable) and linux (5.018002)

Thanks!
