I thought for(each)? always took parens in the non-modifier forms but
apparently you can drop them with qw(),
tantrix:~$ perl -le 'for my $i qw(hello world) { print $i }'
hello
world
tantrix:~$ perl -le '@a = qw(hello world); for my $i @a { print $i }'
Array found where operator expected at -e line 1, at end of line
(Missing operator before ?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "$i @a "
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
tantrix:~$
Is this new to 5.6 or have I just been ignorant this whole time?
Paul (doesn't pay as much attn to perldelta as perhaps he should,
possibly because of its enormous length)
