Given Perl v5.8.0, stable version at Sep 19 2002 00:33:39, the following
are all valid Perl expressions:
3 * 9
3 ** 9
3 * * 9
3 * * * * 9
3 ** * 9
3 ** * * 9
3 ** * * * 9
3 ** * * * * 9
3 * * *
The following is not:
3 * * * 9
Of course this is a very ****ed up thing to try, don't ask me why I did.
But can anyone explain?

sub AUTOLOAD{my$i=$AUTOLOAD;my$x=shift;$i=~s/^.*://;print"$x\n";eval
qq{*$AUTOLOAD=sub{my\$x=shift;return unless \$x%$i;&{$x}(\$x);};};}
foreach my $i (3..65535) { &{'2'}($i); }
