I am no Perl guru, but like to think of my self as
good at programming and enjoy it, but I am happy with
the clarity of perlop:
Note that just as in C, Perl doesn't define when the
variable is incre-
mented or decremented. You just know it will be done
sometime before or
after the value is returned. This also means that
modifying a variable
twice in the same statement will lead to undefined
behaviour. Avoid
statements like:
$i = $i ++;
print ++ $i + $i ++;
So since its documented and not recommended and
considered bad coding I would say its not a bug.
However since the only thing higher that ++ or -- is
left terms and list operators (leftward)
left ->
and we tested () which had no result we wanted to see,
I guess we have to ask ourselves again what defines a
bug?
