in thread 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)

    ($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,
      I suspected that based on haukex comment below.

      Thank you guys!
