If you do not touch the $a anywhere in the rest of the enclosing
block then the two are equivalent. The do{} trick is there just to
create a block as small as possible to ensure the variable is not
used.
I would actually find this easier to read:
my $node = do {
my $anon;
bless \$anon, $class;
};
I don't really like the \do.
