~~The expression ($x, $y, $z) = ... evaluates to a list of assignable values, i.e., lvalues.~~
The expression ($x, $y, $z) = RHS evaluates to the list of assignable values, i.e., lvalues, $x, $y, $z.

And likewise with

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my ($x, $y, $z) = qw( 1 2 3 );
 print qq{$x, $y, $z};
 ;;
 (my ($u, $v, $w) = qw( 1 2 3 )) = qw( a b c );
 print qq{$u, $v, $w};
 ;;
 ((my ($r, $s, $t) = qw( 1 2 3 )) = qw( a b c )) = qw(foo bar baz);
 print qq{$r, $s, $t};
