hm.. still it have modifers like postfix C<for>, C<while>, C<if> etc., which are statement ones, not expression..People who think in terms of "statements" often get mixed up when they put complex expressions in void context, expecting them to be treated as statements. print(2+3)*7; is another example. Perl doesn't have "statements" in the same sense that Pascal does. It has expressions.
hm.. just consider all the mess(and fun!) if all the control structures and modfiers would become ordinary expressions.. but it's a perl, not lisp or haskel or whatever..
