Please don't call the left operand a "list". That is not just
misleading, but also risks propagating rather tough misconceptions.
Consider: "is an array, a hash, a slice, or enclosed in parentheses".
Consider: In the following, is f a list? a scalar? both?
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $x=1;
my $y=2;
sub f () :lvalue {
$x, $y
}
say f;
f=4;
say f;
f=(5,6);
say f
