I would add at least numeric context to this list, activated when
arithmetical operators are used. There are others, for example
assignment context.
"perldoc overload" provides some enlightenment on the topic.
Basically every group of operators described in this document can be
(but not required to be) seen as a separate context. This includes:
* Arithmetic, Comparison, Bit operations
* Boolean, string and numeric conversion: 'bool', '""', '0+'
* Iteration: '<>'
* Matching: '~~'
* Dereferencing: '${}', '@{}', '%{}', '&{}', '*{}'

Mikhael.
