Re^2: Confused by a couple of idioms

Ah, I was reading the precedence like this: ($csv and $xls) = $csv;

I think the lowercase "and" basically makes it act more like this: $csv and ($xls = $csv)

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

Correct. Deparsing makes it even clearer:

12:28 >perl -MO=Deparse -e "$csv and $xls = $csv;"
$xls = $csv if $csv;
-e syntax OK

Damn, that's crazy. Never knew about that.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
