in reply to Not understanding 2 sentences in perldoc

It means this

my $x = f(); my $y = $x;
can be written as
my $y = my $x = f();
and
my $copy = $str; $copy =~ s/\\/\\\\/g;
can be written as
( my $copy = $str ) =~ s/\\/\\\\/g;

Update: Added second example.

    Very concise! ++

    But he asked for lists, so

    my @x = f(); my @y = @x;

    can be written as

    my @y = my @x = f();

    update
    DB<39> sub f { 1..3} DB<40> my @y = my @x = f(); print"@x,@y" 1 2 3,1 2 3 DB<41>

      Well, the second passage was about scalar assignment. That's what I focused on. Your example completes the answer by addressing the first passage. Thanks.
