Actualy {blah, "blah"} is considered a block. See below for proof. ;). Perl is trying to be smart and guessing on what exactly {} is based on context. {} makes lots of since as a hash ref but very little as a block. {blah, "blah"}is usefull as a block while my $x = {blah, "blah"}; is most probalby a hashref and treated that way.
C:\Perl\test>perl -e"{test,'blah'} print 'hello'";
hello
C:\Perl\test>perl -e"{test,'blah', print '1'} print 'hello'";
1hello

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).
