In our previous episode, Mark Morgan Lloyd said:

Did you really mean that or did you mean
[a, b, c] := (d := e);
? :-)
:-) I meant what I wrote: a comparison on the right producing a Boolean
which is assigned to three variables in a list. The parentheses were to
try to make it a bit clearer, and I note that a Perl list is in
parentheses rather than brackets.
I'm not saying I like it, or that it's Pascal. But something like that
would probably upset the fewest people that matter. Perhaps I should
have said
[a, b, c] += Ord(d = e);
:-)
