Thank you for the test case. You’ve saved me time. It turns out this is an old bug in the optimisation, which I have ended up extending to more cases: $ perl5.8.7 -e '(@a = split//,$_)=1' # fine $ perl5.8.7 -e '(@a = split//,$x)=1' Can't modify split in list assignment at -e line 1, at EOF Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. Judging by the source code, it probably goes back to perl 3.0. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123057Thread Previous | Thread Next
