My guess: the entire right hand expression is evaluated before assignments are made.
Of course it does, but it doesn't explain anything. The question can be phrased as "Why is the output of the first snippet different from the output of the following snippets in the following code?"
$ perl -E'$i=0; ($j, $k) = (++$i, ++$i); say "j:$j k:$k";'
j:2 k:2
$ perl -E'$i=1; ($j, $k) = ($i++, $i++); say "j:$j k:$k";'
j:1 k:2
$ perl -E'$i=0; ($j, $k) = (++$i+0, ++$i+0); say "j:$j k:$k";'
j:1 k:2
The answer is here.

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).
