Huh. I didn't think that worked in Perl 5, either. What am I
misremembering?
I distinctly recall having to do things like (my $a, undef, my $b) to
avoid errors because you can't assign to undef. Maybe I'm just
hallucinating.
It didn't work in early Perl, but certainly did by 5.00503. I don't
recall when it was added.
