Why shouldn't this be allowed:
$ perl -wle 'sub foo{(4,5,6)};((undef)x2, $x) = foo; print $x'
Can't modify repeat (x) in list assignment at -e line 1, near "foo;"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
What makes it different from this:
$ perl -wle 'sub foo{(4,5,6)};(undef,undef, $x) = foo; print $x'
