Those do different things according to my understanding. The first
removes all matching items from the list; the second replaces the
matching items with undef.
e.g. (please forgive any Perl6 syntax errors):
[1,2,3,4,5].grep { $_ % 2 } = undef
results in the list
[2,4]
while
[1,2,3,4,5].grep { $_ % 2 } »= undef
results in the list
[undef, 2, undef, 4, undef]
