Crossposted from p5p :

This reduces to :

use strict;
use warnings;

sub foo {
 if (1) {
  return do {
   1;
  }
 }
}
sub bar {
 if (1) {
  return do {
   my $x;
   1;
  }
 }
}
sub baz {
 if (1) {
  return scalar do {
   my $x;
   1;
  }
 }
}

my $x = foo;
my $y = bar;
my $z = baz;

print "#$x#\n";
print "#$y#\n";
print "#$z#\n";

This looks like a duplicate of "my" old bug #38809. If you turn warnings on, you'll notice that bar returns undef. This seems to have to do with the return context, since changing to return scalar do fixes the problem.

Edit: When ran into taint mode, foo fails too.

Edit^2: Bah, exactly what kyle said !

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
