<p>Hi Monkees,<br />
<p>Why does the following code print 10 bars for the first section, yet behaves as I expected for the second?</p>
<code>
#Huh? 10 bars, WTF?
for(1..10){
$_>5 ? $x='foo' : $x='bar';
print "$_:$x\n";
}
# That's better - 5 foos and 5 bars
for(1..10){
$x=($_>5 ? 'foo' : 'bar');
print "$_:$x\n";
}
</code>
