It is the left side of an an equation(ie, lvalue operator rvalue)
lvalue is for left value and rvalue would be for the right value.
substr($name, 4) = 'dy';
substr($name,4) is an lvalue.
Wags ;)

Subject: lvalues
I came across a reference to lvalue(s) in
perldoc -f substr
I then searched perldoc for "lvalue", and looked at each reference in:
perldoc perldiag
perldoc perltoc
perldoc perlfunc
perldoc perlsub
perldoc perlop
perldoc perlguts
perldoc perlsyn
perldoc perlfaq7
perldoc perlfaq4
perldoc perlref
It's obvious to me that lvalue is a commonly understood term among perl
gurus, but I had to return my Llama to the Llibrary so I can't see if it's
explained there, but I'm confident/hopeful that someone out there can either
fair-use an explaination from their Llama, or even better provide an English
explanation.
Thanks,
