$a *= 2;
Basically translates to this:
$a = $a * 2;
just like
$b += 1;
translates to:
$b = $b + 1;
This is true of almost every binary operator. Some of the weird ones:
$x ||= 0; # if $x is zero, undef, or an empty string, make it zero.
or
perl -E'$x=q(x);${x}x=7;say$x'
See `perldoc perlop` and search for /Assignment Operators/

Confusion is the first step of understanding.
Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
The secret to great software: Fail early & often.
Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
