I think it's a matter of style, but also one should
consider who will be maintaining this code in the
future and whether they will be familiar with Perl or
if they will have a more general CS background.
if ($x) { $x = 0 }
is definitely more traditional and easily recognizable
by non-Perl programmers.
$x = 0 if $x
reads more naturally for some (like me) and has a
nicer look (to me) because there are less brackets.
