"In general, perl does what you want -- unless what you want is
consistency."  The point is that consistency is NOT the overarching
goal of perl's design; being useful to the programmer is.  It turns
out that 'my' having higher precedence than comma is signficantly
more useful than if it had a lower precedence.  Let's all just
acknowledge that fact, and move on.
