It’s a legitimate question.
Another use case:
for( qw( 1 2 3 ) ) {
$_ = $_ * $_; # contrived
print "square: $_\n";
}
__END__
Modification of a read-only value attempted at foo line 2.
as opposed to
for( @{[ qw( 1 2 3 ) ]} ) {
$_ = $_ * $_; # contrived
print "square: $_\n";
}
__END__
square: 1
square: 4
square: 9
In other words it’s also useful when you need to break aliasing
to make sure you’re operating on a modifiable copied scalar.
