Yeah, The behaviour of ($foo = 1) . ($foo = 2) . ($foo = 3) used to be roughly equivalent to
my $x = "";
$x .= ( $foo = 1 );
$x .= ( $foo = 2 );
$x .= ( $foo = 3 );
But now, it's roughly equivalent to
my $x = join("",
( $foo = 1 ),
( $foo = 2 ),
( $foo = 3 ),
);
In both cases, $foo itself is being put on the stack. The difference is when it's used (before it has a chance to be changed by later assignments, or after).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
