What about associativity?
- Is 6 / 5 * 4 equal to (6 / 5) * 4 (like Perl) or to 6 / (5 * 4)?
- Is 2 ** 3 ** 4 equal to (2 ** 3) ** 4 or to 2 ** (3 ** 4) (like Perl)?
Deviances from Perl's behaviour should be documented, IMHO.
For fun since it doesn't really matter, something else to look at is the interaction between unary minus, post- and pre- -decrement and -increment. For example,

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
