With the attached patch I now have all tests successful.
I remember lots of discussion a while ago about constructions like "my
$x = 1 if $y;". I don't remember what the conclusion of it all was,
except that it's probably best avoided. Is that right?
Yes, that's right, because that could bypass initialisation of $x if
$y is false, leaving the previous value in it, like in state vars.
Note that in 5.10, you'll have a warning for a special case of this construct :
$ bleadperl -we 'my $x if 0'
Deprecated use of my() in false conditional at -e line 1.
