It is the secret "eskimo greeting" operator.
This might reveal what is happening:
perl5 -MO=Deparse -pe ' } { $_="foo\n"' /dev/null
LINE: while (defined($_ = <ARGV>)) {
;
}
{
$_ = "foo\n";
}
continue {
print $_;
}
-e syntax OK
I figured that much, but then I'm left with interpreting a construct
of the form:
while(defined($_ = <ARGV>)){}{$_ = "foo\n"}continue{print $_}
^^
??
I didn't think such a construct would be legal. I'm not sure what it
means.
