if foo returns a list of scalars >=2 this is like parameter
unpacking:
my ($head, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) = *foo();
if foo returns a scalar and an array as a list of two scalars,
the second one being a ref to an array:
my ($head, @tail) = foo();

BTW, for simplicities sake perhaps there is an MMD on &infix:<,>,
one for lvalue context, the other for read only context?

for this I think we need an easier solution... Perhaps flattenning
foo instead of adding a slurp, or making yadda yadda in lvalue throw
it's arguments away silently:
my ($foo, $bar, ...) := foo();
